get_complete_authors returns NA

[genoa-sullaway]

Hello - when I use get_complete_authors it returns NA for the author column (even when I try and just do one article). In running the function on its own, I am wondering if the issue is in get_author (nested within get_complete_author)? I am getting a 404 error with the current URL formatting, it looks like google may have changed their formatting?

Here is the code I am using:
id = "g5LA4-oAAAAJ&hl=en"
pubs <- scholar::get_publications(id=id, pagesize=n)

df <-pubs %>%
rowwise() %>%
dplyr::mutate(
author = case_when(
str_ends(author, "\.\.\.") ~ scholar::get_complete_authors(id = id, pubid = pubid, delay= 1),
TRUE ~ author
))

Hey first of all, thanks for your codes! You should use double back slashes (\\) to escape . in R string format. After changing this, your code works for me.

However, I do get "Google is rate limiting you for making too many requests too quickly." still when I try to get_complete_authors for a large data frame.

df <- pubs %>%
  rowwise() %>%
  dplyr::mutate(
    author = case_when(
      str_ends(author, "\\.\\.\\.") ~ scholar::get_complete_authors(id = id, pubid = pubid, delay= 3),
      TRUE ~ author))

Hope this helps.
