I am having an issue downloading all the Springer books. I end up getting all the book files by running download_springer_book_files(); however, they are all 14Kb. Anyone else having a similar problem?

Dear Anatoly,

Thanks for your feedback. The issue has been documented on GitHub. It seems that it is related to a recent additional security added by Springer.

The author is currently trying to fix it, and I will update the article as soon as a solution is found. Don't hesitate to come back to check it out.

In the meantime, you can still download books one by one through the links included in this dynamic table or all of them here.

Best,
Antoine

Dear Jeri,

Could you try reinstalling the latest version of the package with: devtools::install_github("renanxcortes/springerQuarantineBooksR", force = TRUE)

(don't forget force = TRUE) and downloading the books again?

Let me know if this helps.

Best,
Antoine

Dear Jeri,

As you can see in this issue, Springer tweaked the reCAPTCHA few days ago so at the moment it's not possible to use the package to download the books.

The author is trying to fix the issue, so the best thing you can do is to visit the repo from time to time to check whether it has been fixed. (If I don't forget, I'll also inform you here when it's fixed.)

Note that you can still download books one by one via this dynamic table or all of them here.

Sorry about that!

Best,
Antoine

The promotion has ended so it is not possible to download the books through R. If you did not download the books in time, you can still have access to them here.

Dear Pinpacho,

Thanks for your message. Indeed the maintainer of the Google Drive link removed all books.

However, I found another link maintained by someone else and I updated the link at the top of the article. See here.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Antoine
