economist.com not pulling

[crazyquesadilla]

Hi!

economist.com pulls the article content the first time around, but then the paywall hits.
The site config for economist.com.txt seems like it needs to be updated. My thoughts specifically:

• login_uri should be https://myaccount.economist.com/s/login/
• login_username_field should be username
• login_password_field should be password
• not_logged_in_xpath should be //*[@id="regwall-container"] (I'm less confident about this one though)

I would play around with it myself but I can't figure out how to test without paying for a self-hosted license.

Here's a new article URL to test if you don't want to click around for another one: https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2025/08/20/the-discovery-of-a-gene-for-chronic-pain-could-herald-new-treatments

Let me know if you need anything from me.

Thanks!

Hi @crazyquesadilla,

you are writing in the fivefilters repo. So I just want to make clear, that the login fields you mentioned are not for use in FulltextRSS (FTR). That is an extension for use in wallabag (read-it-later) which also uses same site config files as FTR.
