Shiny Error

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Hi,

I've been trying to publish a Shiny app using Scholar package to my dashboard, but kept getting this error message: "Error in get_resp: Cannot connect to Google Scholar." It seems like the package fails to grab the information on the web. Could anybody give me some clarification on this issue?

Also found this same issue, works locally but once published it fails

Likely to do with Google rate limiting connections from your host. If you look around there are quite a few issues here that boil down to the fact that Google is not encouraging people to query scholar as an API.

Thanks mate, looks like I'll just have to run it locally
