@kirk86 You'll probably need to provide detailed info. Details on your system, Python version, code, output if any, etc.
Details on your system, Python version, code, output if any,
OS X 10.14.4 python 3.7 usage: scholar.py -c 1 --author "albert einstein" --phrase "quantum theory" output: None
I can confirm this
I've made my own fork fixing a couple of previously mentioned issues (bibtex citation and this. ) Also, the "no results" return is likely due to Google actively blocking bots by showing reCAPTCHAs. So always use a cookie file exported from your browser.
@peterzjx what kind of file and structure are we talking here? Can you provide an example? For instance if use a .txt
file with the cookie value inside will that work?
@kirk86 Yes. I'm using a Chrome plugin called cookies.txt and just copy the content in a .txt
file, refer the file in the program (--cookie_file
in terminal, or ScholarConf.COOKIE_JAR_FILE
in python) it works fine.
However, there are still very harsh limits on the number and frequency of queries. I was validating ~100 citations in google scholar by hand and it cut me off about 5 times. So even a couple of test runs may disable the function for a while.
@peterzjx thanks I'll give it a try, if you don't mind me asking have your changes been incorporated as PR in this repo?
@kirk86 It seems there has been no incorporation of PR for the past 2 years on this repo... and I haven't tested the previous suggestions to fix #102 (I didn't apply their patch yet but it seems working fine for me already) so there are gonna be some conflicts.
It seems that this script doesn't work as it returns not results what so ever. No matter what query I choose, I've tried all examples in the readme and it always shows no results.
