Hi We are using the Open-Textbook scraper to fetch the book details for the universities, but unfortunately for some of the universities it returns no results. Some of the universities are Illinois State University,Delaware Valley College,Texas Tech University,Indiana State University. Could you please take a look on this and can you suggest me how to get the book details for those universities, it will be very helpful for us to continue our work.

Hey there,

This repo is no longer maintained because of the effort involved in updating to deal with new site changes, so some sites might not be scraping correctly.

Getchabooks (https://github.com/getchabooks/getchabooks) may work for you.. If not, I can help you with writing scrapers just hit me up.

Thanks,

Ben
