For some reason, the onebox doesn’t actually fill anything out `http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H4SSB02` > **[Children's Book: Daddy swallowed a Hedgehog (funny bedtime story collection) -...](https://www.amazon.com/Childrens-Book-swallowed-Hedgehog-collection-ebook/dp/B00H4SSB02)** > > Children's Book: Daddy swallowed a Hedgehog (funny bedtime story collection) - Kindle edition by Werber, Yonit.

I think I fixed it for most of the products.

Just a thought: It would be nice if this code also matched the `smile.amazon.com` domain (the rest of the URL is always the same) which allows non-profits to get a cut of the revenue. > **[Amazon.com: Schylling PANIC PETE SQUEEZE TOY : Toys & Games](https://www.amazon.com/Schylling-PANIC-PETE-SQUEEZE-TOY/dp/B001R57O88)** > > Classic Panic Pete stress ball toy ---

Is there a reason we try to scrape using mobile pages from Amazon? The desktop pages contains a `description` meta tag that we can use to improve reliability and avoid breaking Amazon onebox everytime they change their HTML. > ---

The idea was that mobile would have less cruft to sort through, if desktop is easier, go for it. ---

![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/8/c/6/8c6c4d7d73eb62d90d382c46dea10f7c6e2ec6de.png) Hmm, il meta tag della descrizione è piuttosto buono, ma non sono sicuro che la frase “su [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com). Spedizione _gratuita_ sugli articoli qualificati” sia troppo di distrazione. Vorrei sapere il tuo parere su questo 😺 ---

Rimarrò con le pagine mobili. cc/ @sam ---

I just bumped it. I can’t say for sure if we were on the latest because our gemfile referenced a version that was pushed to Rubygems that wasn’t also set in our repo. I can confirm that _now_ we are on the very latest onebox code. > ---
