I edited my previous message but for now the only option that gets metadata from Amazon is using their servers. Google, DuckDuckGo & Wayback Machine are not returning any useful data. Oddly, they all seem to return data in the web browser when I copy the query from the log files.

It's because the google webcache has been discontinued.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/2/24...e-discontinued

For instance going to:
https://webcache.googleusercontent.c...p%2F1423146786

no longer returns the cached page

lol, "greatly improved"? I suspect it has more to do with pushback because Cache was often used to bypass paywalls.
