when I used pybliometrics to get the co_authors, sometimes I get this error, but sometimes not I want to know why and how to solve it.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "G:\dissertationdatabase\iteration3\iteration3.py", line 16, in <module>
    coauthors = pd.DataFrame(au.get_coauthors())

  File "C:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\lib\site-packages\pybliometrics\scopus\author_retrieval.py", line 289, in get_coauthors
    res = get_content(url, api="AuthorSearch")

  File "C:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\lib\site-packages\pybliometrics\scopus\utils\get_content.py", line 97, in get_content
    raise errors[resp.status_code](reason)

  • Welcome on stack overflow! Please provide a minimal working example, i.e. code that others can copy right away, the next time. – MERose Nov 22 '21 at 05:59

Errors in the 5xx area are due to server errors. My feeling is that they're often idiosyncratic. Only Elsevier can tell what's really happening.

If this has worked previously, but is not working now, my suggestion would be to retry to see if this was a temporary issue.

If the problem persists, please contact Elsevier Support:
