Describe the bug
When searching for an author by id or name, a lot of time the script stalls completely, and keeps working for hours. I assume this is because I get a MaxTriesExceeded Error, however the message does not appear. Below I provide a snippet, however I am not completely sure as to in which of these 3 functions the script stalls.
To Reproduce
author: dict = scholarly.search_author_id(scholar_id)
search_query = scholarly.search_author(name)
author = scholarly.fill(next(search_query))

Expected behavior
I expected the programm not to stall and show output.

Screenshots
Doesn't show anything.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • Proxy service: ScraperAPI
  • python version: 3.11.6
  • OS: Windows
  • Version: 11
