OpenAlex: [error] request-default-error-callback

[FilConscious]

Hi,

I've recently seen your video tutorials on how to use org-ref to retrieve data via OpenAlex. Thanks for this, these new functionalities look amazing!

Unfortunately, I'm not able to use them in Doom Emacs (with helm and helm-bibtex).

When I click on a reference, I get the following hydra in which two of the OpenAlex functions are missing (Related documents and Cited by documents):

Then, if I try to use References from, the OpenAlex buffer appears but consistently zero results are found, and the following errors are displayed:

[error] request--callback: peculiar error: 404
[error] request-default-error-callback: https://api.openalex.org/worksdoi:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2018.07.035?mailto=myemail@me.com&api_key=nil&filter=nil error

A quick look at the OpenAlex API makes me think that there should be a / between works and doi , otherwise the call is incorrect, hence the 404 error.

If you could provide any further insight or explanation, to help fix this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

I think I fixed some of these issues. I don't know why there is only xf showing initially. If I reload the openalex library then all of them appear. I will keep looking into that.

Thanks a lot!

Everything seems to be working now:

• I can see all thex- functions when the hydra is invoked
• each returns a list of related entries in a new buffer

thanks for reporting it. It was bugging me every once in a while, and I am glad to have fixed it!
