[Google Search API] No organic_results included in JSON for mobile search

[alexbarron]

A customer reported a one-off Google mobile search where the HTML preview shows organic results, but organic_results were not included in the JSON. The customer didn't encounter this any other times, and I haven't been able to reproduce it.

Internal links: Intercom | Search Inspect

This customer reached out again with another example:

Search Inspect

---

I was able to reproduce this a couple times:

• Search Inspect 1
• Search Inspect 2

All of these requests went through the same proxy provider and appear to be returning desktop results instead of mobile.

Requests through other proxy providers appear to be fine:

• Working Search Inspect

A few other examples:

Inspect 1 | Inspect 2

All of these examples also have location: Indonesia and num=100.

Extraction failed because desktop versions were returned instead of mobile ones.

From some initial exploration in my local environment, this appears to be occurring 100% of the time with the proxy provider in question for any Google searches using mobile or tablet for the device.

Going to investigate further, but I suspect that this current PR is somewhat relevant: https://github.com/serpapi/SerpApi/pull/5605
