Recently developed error in get_refs function.

[ConstantinResearch]

Dear citationchaser team,

I am writing to report an error in the get_refs function of your R package. This issue has developed recently, as I did not encounter it when using the same code previously. The shiny web app is also affected (I tried running my query there, but it disconnects from the server with both Firefox and Chrome).

When I attempt to use the get_refs() function with around 100 or more dois/lens_ids, I encounter the following error:
Error in if (record_list_ref$total == 0) { : argument is of length zero

Sometimes the query also makes it through (for me when i limit it to only 36 dois/ids)

Additional Information:
R Version: 4.4.0
Package Version: 0.0.4
Operating System: Windows

I greatly enjoy your package and hope that there is an easy fix out there!

All the best!

Many thanks for the error report. It looks like an API modification embedded a vector inside a dataframe, and I think I've fixed the app code now. Could you try out our Shiny sandpit to see if it's now working for you, please? https://estech.shinyapps.io/citationchasertest/ It'll take me quite a bit more time to fix the public repo. Thanks so much

I tried the app following your link. Regardless of the number of DOIs, I can usually load them successfully. However, the backward citations (refs) only work inconsistently. It generally doesn't seem possible to process more than roughly 200 DOIs, as the page crashes and forces a reload. Additionally, there is one specific DOI that the app cannot process at all.

From my large query of 544 DOIs, I noticed that this particular DOI—10.1080/0163660X.2020.1770962—causes the entire query to return the following error:
"Warning: Your search returned no matched results. Please double-check your input article identifiers and try again."

This error also occurs when I attempt to load and search for the refs for this specific DOI independently.

If you need further error-testing, I am very happy to help. Again, I am very thankful for any progress.

Thanks for the reply - can you email the file you're using to ***@***.***, please? It's working for me, so there must be something specific for your file that would be helpful to find. This doi (10.1080/0163660X.2020.1770962) isn't returning an error. At the moment, we use the lens.org API - that DOI has no references in the lens.org database.
