I am trying to scrape data from Scopus using pybliometrics.

I got the API key from Scopus, but I didn't fill in the web address, which made the key invalid/unauthorized.

When I used it on my code, I got this error message:

Scopus401Error: The requestor is not authorized to access the requested view or fields of the resource

My question is, now I have got the VALID KEY, how can I reinsert it? I want to get the input box, but even when I restart the kernal (of jupyter notebook) nothing seems to change.

  • I'm pretty sure you don't need a website to validate the key. But it can't hurt to have multiple ones. – MERose Aug 28 '20 at 07:51

You probably a need for an insttoken to get this working, due to off main network access due to the pandemic, if that case you should contact integrationsupport@elsevier.com to arrange one.

To change the key (or add new ones), you need to edit the file config.ini yourself. See https://pybliometrics.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuration.html. The file is in folder .scopus in your home directory.
