[Google Finance API] Incomplete response when using the `window` parameter #1724

Open martin-serpapi opened 5 months ago

A user reported that news_results is missing in the response from our Google Finance API. I've tested it in our Playground, and only summary, key_events, and graph fields are returned in the response when the window parameter is explicitly set.

Playground | Inspect

The actual Google Finance engine returns complete information when the window parameter is specified:

Google Finance

Front | Intercom

Extending the window_payload with the payload below returns the news results.

["o6pODe","[[null,[\"GOOGL\",\"NASDAQ\"]]]",null,"5"]

We could possibly add more payloads like above to cover the data that's missing when window is specify.

However, there is little benefit doing so as all the data can already be retrieved (when window omitted) in one of the request.

A customer needs the additional data while using window parameters as well.
