Japan Times -- filter error message

rasteps · 01-19-2021, 11:56 AM

The Japan Times always gets an error message regarding javascript:

Is there any way to filter this out in the recipe?

If it is in a tag with an indentifiable class or id simply add it to remove_tags.

That's the only text I see. But it repeats for every article.

My guess is that the site sees the recipe retrieval tool as another browser and returns an error message because does not detect JavaScript....but I'm just guessing at that.

I have made an improved version of the recipe.

I removed the Javascript message, as well as the bullet points after the title and the "Related" section at the bottom of the article, just leaving the main text. I could not, however, keep the article author's name.

I set a masthead URL so we get the logo at the top of the Sections menu and fixed the feed URLs (there were http instead of https URLs, as well as the Life feed being wrongly set to the Opinion feed URL. I added the Top Stories feed, too.

I went ahead and made a pull request with the updated recipe:
