American Prospect recipe not working
I ran the American Prospect recipe. It downloaded the titles of 25 articles but for each article there was only a notice about how to subscribe. I opened numerous articles on their webpage successfully so I am not sure what happened. I hope the author or someone else can fix it.
Thanks, David |

They have the full text of their stories on their web site for free. Is it difficult for a recipe to collect the stories from the website instead of from rss?

I still can't download the American Prospect, and ran into this thread when trying to figure out the problem.
The response from sexymax15 doesn't make any sense, as I can access the RSS feed just fine through google reader, and clicking through the link takes me directly to the full articles - no subscription required. But the recipe itself still returns nothing but a table of contents and then a bunch of empty sections. |

I've modified the recipe to use keep_only_tags and remove_tags to clean up the pages. The result now contains the articles. aprospect.recipe.txt |
