Amazon translator issue

lwebb · August 31, 2020

Amazon translator currently imports only title, author and abstract. Missing full publication info and ISBN as before. It looks like Amazon has another new page layout.

Thanks, I can confirm this. We'll try to fix this soon.

(I'm working on this.)

OK, I've pushed a fix for this. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences.

This is still an issue for me. I'm using Chrome and Zotero isn't importing full publication info from Amazon. I tried to click Update Translators but nothing happened.

It's every Amazon book I try to import. Here's the most recent one:

That's likely some sort of problem with your installation, then. See Troubleshooting Issues with Zotero Translators.

Doing the same thing again. I can tell you that it worked properly on June 8 and imports starting June 9 are missing publisher, ISBN, etc. Amazon keeps changing the page layout.

We fixed this earlier today. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences..
