what should i do?

[conglu1997]

Please see: https://github.com/SakanaAI/AI-Scientist/issues/78 Try see if the API works at all, and you have no firewall.

[gao106]

It seems the issue isn't related to the firewall. It appears that the program is accessing https://www.semanticscholar.org/product/api#api-key-form too frequently. Do you know where to change this address or adjust the strategy?

[conglu1997]

Requesting an API key would be the best strategy, alternatively one could consider other open scholarly archives such as DBLP! I believe Google Scholar can be challenging to access properly and can often block access.

[gao106]

Where can I make changes to switch to DBLP? Please let me know.

[Isaadahmed2]

I also need help for switching DBLP

[conglu1997]

The code for semantic scholar is here: https://github.com/SakanaAI/AI-Scientist/blob/ed798a0af6e2d9d9ad619a861e80ae1726c97fab/ai_scientist/generate_ideas.py#L284. I should say, the easiest option is to just request a key.

[gao106]

Yeah,i konw .but it very hard to get a key.

[jli113]

I'm using Ubuntu 24.4, I run export S2_API_KEY="MY KEY" in the terminal, opened another terminal to run launch_scientist.py. Still got 429.

[conglu1997]

export doesn't last between different terminal sessions.

[Isaadahmed2]

@jli113 how do you get a key?

[micelvrice]

Has anyone been successful in their application? how long does it take, I submitted my application 3 days ago and still no response

https://www.semanticscholar.org/product/api#api-key-form

[Isaadahmed2]

@micelvrice same I have submitted the request like 3 days ago

[conglu1997]

Perhaps 1-2 weeks. Feel free to run without novelty checking or citations in the writeup in the meantime! Just comment out the necessary lines.

[Isaadahmed2]

@conglu1997 I have tried that but i am getting error ../../data path for train.bin is not there.

[conglu1997]

Have you run the prepare steps?

[Isaadahmed2]

@conglu1997 yes I have done all of them and the file is present there.

[conglu1997]

Can you try pull the most recent version of the code? We recently fixed a related issue.

@jobschang7 Requesting an API key would be the best strategy, HAHAHAHAHAH
