Hi, first, thank you for all the hard work you guys do on this tool. :)

Second, I've often wanted to cite papers on SSRN on Wikipedia, but citoid doesn't seem to work with SSRN. Is there any possibility of handling it? Thanks!

Hello, I've looked into this and it appears we're getting 429 too many requests errors for this website, which suggests we've been blocked by them. (From a different IP and user-agent, it works.) Unfortunately the solution to this may be we have to contact them individually... there's a long list of sites queued above this one, unfortunately!

In the interrum, I suggest using the doi as we can use crossRef for dois. (I know it is a pain!) There's also some lag for newer papers (i.e. 10.2139/ssrn.4012911 works but 10.2139/ssrn.5031806 is too new)

No worries, thanks!

If this is common, maybe it would be possible to run citoid locally? (i.e. my computer sends the request to SSRN and formats the citation, so there's no WMF IP in the middle to get blocked.) It looks like there's no issues if I use the Zotero extension to create a citation directly. I know basically nothing about web stuff, though, so I assume there's a good reason you guys don't/can't do that.

I've linked a task in the summary... but yeah, there are privacy implications around basically running code in the user's browser and getting data from their other open tabs, so it's a non starter I think. You can run Zotero locally, and Zotero can produce Wikipedia style citation templates. Extra steps! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources_with_Zotero
