How to extract full name of author #2

Closed bigheiniu closed 4 years ago

bigheiniu commented 6 years ago

Hi, thanks for sharing your excellent scraper. Currently, I want to extract the full name of the authors, however, your program just extracts the authors' first name. Even I add this
authors_lastName =[author.find(ARXIV + 'forenames').text.lower() if not author else "_" for author in authors] The output just contains the authors first name

@bigheiniu : Thanks for your kind comment. The program extracts the last name by default. I updated the code to fetch the full name. Could you try it and see if that is what you want?

PR #9 should have resolved this. Closing the issue.
