Recent update? #74

Closed Sbozzolo closed 3 years ago

Sbozzolo commented 3 years ago

Recently, bibslurp stopped working (https://github.com/mkmcc/bibslurp/issues/12#issuecomment-833763778). I suspect that something changed in the APIs. I think that the following used to work:

curl -d "bibcode=2010PhRvD..82j4014W" -H 'Authorization: Bearer MY_TOKEN' 'https://api.adsabs.harvard.edu/v1/export/bibtex'

but now it doesn't anymore and I need to send the data as '-d {"bibcode":"2010PhRvD..82j4014W"}.

I cannot find any announcement about any change. Has there been any change on the server side?

Hi.

Curl works with export service. bibcode is actually a list, even if you are requesting one bibcode only. So this works

curl -d '{"bibcode":["2010PhRvD..82j4014W"]}' -H 'Authorization: Bearer token' 'https://api.adsabs.harvard.edu/v1/export/bibtex'

{"msg": "Retrieved 1 abstracts, starting with number 1.", "export": "@ARTICLE{2010PhRvD..82j4014W,\n author = {{Witek}, Helvi and {Zilh{\~a}o}, Miguel and {Gualtieri}, Leonardo and {Cardoso}, Vitor and {Herdeiro}, Carlos and {Nerozzi}, Andrea and {Sperhake}, Ulrich},\n title = \"{Numerical relativity for D dimensional space-times: Head-on collisions of black holes and gravitational wave extraction}\",\n journal = {\prd},\n keywords = {04.25.dg, 04.50.Gh, Numerical studies of black holes and black-hole binaries, Higher-dimensional black holes black strings and related objects, General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology, Astrophysics

I would like to understand why bibslurp stopped working and I can prevent it from breaking again in the future. What we are doing in bibslurp is what I reported in the first message. I suspect that there has been a recent server-side change and now what we are doing in bibslurp is not allowed anymore. Is this the case?

golnazads commented 3 years ago

export service has not changed, still support both POST and GET. For POST it expects a list of bibcodes, for GET the bibcode is inserted at the end of url. So this works curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer token' 'https://api.adsabs.harvard.edu/v1/export/bibtex/2010PhRvD..82j4014W' sorry I have no explanation how the command you are specifying worked.

Thanks, with your comments I updated bibslurp so that it works again. I realized that we were using the APIs incorrectly and bibslurp should not have worked in the first place (but it has been working fine for two years!). I cannot think of any other explanation for why it stopped working except that something changed server-side. (I cannot say how recently the package stopped working, it could have been in the past 2/3 months maybe?).

I guess this issue is solved. Thanks!

Well maybe one explanation. We recently have switched to python 3. Maybe it was working under python 2, even if the signature was not correct. The Python 3 version was released last month.

@golnazads that is consistent with when bibslurp stopped working... mystery solved
