Sci-Bay: Google Scholar plus Sci-Hub

Just tested it by searching for “spline”. This is great! Can someone elaborate on how it was made? Specifically, how it integrates with Google Scholar. Is that done client side or server side? If server side how come it hasn’t been blocked by Google seeing as Google don’t seem to like robots using their regular search function so my guess would be they wouldn’t like it for Scholar either. Perhaps it is proxying requests and would also pass on any CAPTCHAs presented? Still in that case I would expect all requests to get hit with a CAPTCHA. Perhaps it just hasn’t had enough traffic yet?

This reminds me of Popcorn time so much.<p>Rightholders do not fear torrents as long as they are unusable for the general population.<p>The second they see something usable — they go berserk.<p>Gonna need some popcorn to watch this one.

If sci-hub is going to scrape OA publishers, they could put in a bit more effort.<p>For example this (which sucks): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sci-bay.org&#x2F;article?link=https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pmc&#x2F;articles&#x2F;PMC4559886&#x2F;&amp;info=T5ySYQkNqxIJ&amp;scirp=0&amp;k=a&amp;pd=&amp;citn=176&amp;cit=1345183247643089999" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sci-bay.org&#x2F;article?link=https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.go...</a><p>Versus the actual article: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elifesciences.org&#x2F;articles&#x2F;24234" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elifesciences.org&#x2F;articles&#x2F;24234</a>

reminder that this went up not long ago <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;whereisscihub.herokuapp.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;whereisscihub.herokuapp.com</a>

Google Scholar definitely and intentionally offers no API.<p>I don&#x27;t see this lasting long...

This is a clever mashup. Of course, if you want it to last a week, I&#x27;d be making some effort to distribute the source far and wide...

I&#x27;m sorry but I don&#x27;t see how it works?<p>&gt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sci-bay.org&#x2F;scholar?hl=en&amp;as_sdt=0%2C5&amp;q=entropy+shannon&amp;btnG=" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sci-bay.org&#x2F;scholar?hl=en&amp;as_sdt=0%2C5&amp;q=entropy+sha...</a><p>-&gt; Please show you&#x27;re not a robot

It works well, OT: Anyone knows how to remove the top header in this Scihub link:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sci-bay.org&#x2F;article?link=https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pdfs.semanticscholar.org&#x2F;88d6&#x2F;33703f6c58c54a3dc8140767b9fd7ae19ed2.pdf&amp;info=simZbOimsdwJ&amp;scirp=2&amp;k=a&amp;pd=https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pdfs.semanticscholar.org&#x2F;88d6&#x2F;33703f6c58c54a3dc8140767b9fd7ae19ed2.pdf&amp;citn=105&amp;cit=15902675276406532530" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sci-bay.org&#x2F;article?link=https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pdfs.semanticschola...</a>

I&#x27;m 100% in favour of sci-hub.<p>However, note that they are very anarchic when it comes to commercial books, not just journal articles!<p>E.g. from the Sci-Bay search results, this is $131 on amazon.com, and quite possibly the authors do want the royalties.<p>[BOOK] Intelligent optimisation techniques: genetic algorithms, tabu search, simulated annealing and neural networks D Pham, D Karaboga - 2012 - books.google.com ...

Is the website down? It just says &quot;too much attention&quot; caused it to shut down.

How did you integrate scholar in sci-bay ? Does scholar have an API ?<p>And about the future, how do you see google responding?

And it&#x27;s down.<p>&quot;See you later Too much attention is a bad thing, Sci-Bay decides to stop service for a while. Sorry. Anyone who knows how Sci-Bay works and wishes this tool benefits more academics, please contact: info@sci-bay.org&quot;

How is this any better than using the sci-hub plugin?

Beyond close vs. distant ties: Understanding post-service sharing of information with close, exchange, and hybrid ties

We&#x27;ll see how long this one last.

Aaaaand it&#x27;s down.

Oh, this is wonderful!

It does not work.

Honeypot?

Can someone help dispel my ethical concerns over using papers like this? Eg sci-hub.<p>Any and all arguments, on both sides are very welcome.

Interesting that Hacker News allows links to pirate sites... This will probably get removed soon
