Error: Service Unavailable (HTTP 503)

Hi

I ran:

sen <- get_publications(id="sLNFo0sAAAAJ", cstart = 0, pagesize = 10, flush = FALSE)

I am getting the following error message:

Error in read_xml.response(x, encoding, ..., as_html = TRUE) :
Service Unavailable (HTTP 503).

Am I getting this because I am being banned by Google Scholar? If so, how can I slow-down the downloading?

Thanks
Adel

This may be related to this:

ckreibich/scholar.py#52

The implication is that you would need to store a cookie from a web session in which you have filled out a captcha and then use that in conjunction with your search. Clearly Amartya Sen is too prolific.

Best,

Greg Jefferis.

@jefferis Would you be kind enough to give me the steps on how I can do what you are suggesting? Thanks.
