Scopus Translator Error on Zotero 7.0.21 (64-bit, Linux)

Hi Zotero team,

I’m encountering an issue with the Scopus translator while using Zotero 7.0.21 (64-bit) on a Linux machine. I have a Zotero subscription plan ($20/year) and I’ve manually added the Scopus translator from the GitHub source by copy-pasting into the translators directory.

When I try to save a Scopus item from the browser (I’ve tested with both Chrome and Firefox), I get the following error:

An error occurred while saving this item. See Troubleshooting Translator Issues for more information.
Any help would be appreciated — happy to provide debug logs if needed.

We need the URL of the page where you're getting an error.

I’ve manually added the Scopus translator from the GitHub source by copy-pasting into the translators directory.

Why? There's never any need to do that. The translators in the GitHub repository are installed and updated automatically.

Hello, here is the URL page, (https://www.scopus.com/results/results.uri?st1=Explainable+Ai+parkinson's&st2=&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY(Explainable+Ai+parkinson's)&limit=10&origin=searchbasic&sort=plf-f&src=s&sot=b&sdt=b&sessionSearchId=03d7d558f3db827c94d5fdcc67f8b691),

Initially, I tried saving items directly from the Scopus search results page into Zotero, but it didn’t work. As a workaround, I tried to manually add the Scopus translator from the GitHub repository to the Zotero translators directory. However, this also didn’t resolve the issue.

I would appreciate any guidance on how to properly fix or troubleshoot this. Thank you!

@AbeJellinek -- I'm going to be unable to work on fixing this until at least next week but could test. The individual item pages have changed completely:

1. Their URL is now of the form /pages/publications/105006890245
2. The RIS request is a post request to /gateway/export-service/export with the payload

{"eids":["2-s2.0-105003283648"],"fileType":"RIS","fieldGroupIdentifiers":["authors","titles","year","eid","sourceTitle","volumeIssuePages","citedBy","source","documentType","publicationStage","doi","openAccess","abstract","authorKeywords","indexedKeywords"],"keyEvent":{"origin":"recordpage","zone":"recordPageHeader","totalDocs":1},"locale":"en-US"}

I _think_ the 2-s2.0- part is always the same, but not sure. At least I can't find it anywhere on the page.

The search page has kept the same URL (I think) but the structure has changed, the relevant section for each item is
<div class="Title-module__Wxm6C Title-module__CyaQ2"><h3 class="Typography-module__lVnit Typography-module__Cv8mo Typography-module__mZVLC Typography-module__ETlt8"><a href="/pages/publications/105003283648" class="Button-module__f8gtt Button-module__rphhF Button-module__VBKvn Button-module__ZS4lL Button-module__hK_LA Button-module__qDdAl Button-module__rTQlw"><span class="Typography-module__lVnit Typography-module__Nfgvc Button-module__Imdmt"><span>Explainable artificial intelligence to diagnose early Parkinson’s disease via voice analysis</span></span></a></h3></div>

@rajesh_kalakoti: Thanks, we'll fix.

@adamsmith: No problem, I can handle it.
