If I know the url of the publisher's web page describing the paper I want, I append that url to "http://sci-hub.tw/" http://sci-hub.tw/". For example following

If I know the url of the publisher's web page describing the paper I want, I append that url to "http://sci-hub.tw/" http://sci-hub.tw/". For example following this link will immediately cause the pdf of the full text of what is otherwise a paywalled paper to start downloading into one's browser's download directory: http://sci-hub.tw/http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8094949 http://sci-hub.tw/http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/809494... But I was unable to get a similar concatenated url to work with whereisscihub, which means I cannot replace "http://sci-hub.tw/" http://sci-hub.tw/" with "https://whereisscihub.herokuapp.com/go/" https://whereisscihub.herokuapp.com/go/" in the definition of the simple command I use to interact with Sci-Hub.

Yes, I’d love this too. At Citationsy (https://citationsy.com https://citationsy.com) we link out to sci-hub like this: http://sci-hub.la/10.14361/9783839408650-011 http://sci-hub.la/10.14361/9783839408650-011 Would be great if that worked with /go/ too.

  That's a good idea, I'll add that tomorrow!

    It might work for DOIs (I haven't tried that) but when the second part of the url is another url, it doesn't work the way I wish it did. In particular, this next url redirects to the paywall, whereas I wish it redirected to sci-hub: https://whereisscihub.herokuapp.com/go/http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8094949 https://whereisscihub.herokuapp.com/go/http://ieeexplore.iee... (The reason for wanting to use a URL instead of a DOI is that some paywalls have stopped publishing the DOI, so if all I start with is a link to a page at a paywall, there's no reliable way I know of to discover the DOI.)

      Oops, sorry - I had actually fixed that, but apparently didn't deploy it properly (it's at whereisscihub.now.sh as well now, which makes it somewhat hard to keep track of). It should work properly now.

        I agree that it works properly now. Thanks for making this.
