Abstract retrival JSONDecodeError

[ldbolanos]

First of all, thank you!

I am trying to run the notebook with the examples, but retrieve_abstract() keeps always throwing this error. This is the traceback:

JSONDecodeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 pub_info = scopus.retrieve_abstract('84905286162')

~\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pyscopus\scopus.py in retrieve_abstract(self, scopus_id)
163 r = requests.get('%s/%s'%(APIURI.ABSTRACT, scopus_id), params=par)
164
--> 165 js = r.json()
166
167 try:

~\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py in json(self, **kwargs)
894 # used.

349 if cls is None:
350 cls = JSONDecoder

335
336 """
--> 337 obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
338 end = _w(s, end).end()
339 if end != len(s):

~\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\json\decoder.py in raw_decode(self, s, idx)
353 obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)
354 except StopIteration as err:
--> 355 raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
356 return obj, end

JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

I don't know how to solve it.

Kind regards,
Luis

Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce this error. So everything else works but only abstract retrieval gives you error? Did you try a different api key?
