ProQuest Metadata Importing

I keep running into issues with importing metadata from ProQuest (NYT Historical). It will work for a few files, then I get an Embedded Metadata error. It happens on and off campus, so it doesn't seem to be a proxy server issue. It won't recognize that it's a newspaper article, and pulls only the information into the title.

I haven't done this before, but I tried running the debug output:
D1650802536
  • If you're importing a ton of stuff at once and it just stops working after some time, I'd guess that you're running into ProQuest's bot protection (i.e. measures to prevent automatic downloading/scraping). I don't think there's much we can do about that.
