OAI endpoint in tutorial yields HTTPError

Opened this issue · 1 comments

I am very grateful for this OAI-PMH python package plus the good documentation!
But:

Code from tutorial:
sickle = Sickle('http://elis.da.ulcc.ac.uk/cgi/oai2')
records = sickle.ListRecords(metadataPrefix='oai_dc')

yields following error:
HTTPError: 502 Server Error: Bad Gateway for url: http://elis.da.ulcc.ac.uk/cgi/oai2?

I think this archive was gone. Maybe referring long term archives like Zenodo or Arxiv is more appropriate for demo/documentation.

Like:

>>> from sickle import Sickle
>>> sickle = Sickle('https://zenodo.org/oai2d')
>>> records = sickle.ListRecords(metadataPrefix='oai_dc')
>>> records.next()
<Record oai:zenodo.org:3739219>
