The Economist recipe does not work anymore
Good morning,
It is no longer possible for Calibre to download The Economist (it stopped working a week ago). Please help us, this is such an important source of information. Many thanks |

Same thing here. The recipe is not working.

Again, works for me. Attached is an extract from this weeks download, withonly four articles. Probably the economist server is having trouble, as the error message indicates, try again in a little while.

Thanks kovid,
I tried several times but always the same error message. Is an Economist subscription necessary to download because i'm not having one. it seems that the command soup = self.index_to_soup(self.INDEX) fails to get the full content of the page "http://www.economist.com/printedition". However using a browser the page can be loaded and full contents are shown. I'm a newbie here but i'm wondering if there is a way to download the page mimicking a browser ? |

No, it does not need a subscription. And index_to_soup does mimic a browser.

I have the same problem: can't fetch the economist anymore. It's very strange that Kovidgoyal can... May it be a problem of settings?

Make sure you are using the builtin economist recipe and not a custom one.

I'm guessing that the economist is rolling out a new page design to some fraction of its users. Somebody for whom it fails will have to update the recipe. If no one steps up, I will do it when the new design becomes available to me, for the moment, the builtin recipe continues to work for me.

Do you think it depends on our location/ID? I'm in France.
