Agree, when I click 'Update citations', the extra fields will be replaced with '00000'

I have the same issue

This problem I met last year, and it was very annoying. I found that the google treats it as robots. And if I update too many papers in a single time, google scholar will require me to prove I am not a robot when I get to the website.

I find a simple solution that works for me now. First, you can`t update too many papers in a shoot. When the number is under 30, it is very safe and very fast. I didn`t try a larger number. Second, you can look into @tete1030 `s github website. He fixed this problem in the way that zotero will show No Citation Data instead of 00000. (He also says his version can fix the detection of google robot detection. But I meet a situation that if I try too many in a time, the next time it responds too slow. Then I have to restart the zotero to get it work properly) .

• This is his version 1.9.4,
• and you can download from here. https://github.com/tete1030/zotero-scholar-citations/raw/my/builds/zotero-scholar-citations-1.9.4-fx.xpi

This original repo is not properly detecting the robot checking prompt, at least for me, so it will not display any window for the checking procedure. I only fixed the detection and the robot checking window should be popping up now.

Sadly, google will enable additional checking procedure when it detects a large number of queries to their servers within short time. I have tried using random User-agent or clearing cookie for every request, but this just makes it worse.

@tete1030 still not work. My Zotero version is 5.0.64

@Feiyu-Zhang @tete1030 Just use your version and every time just google a little, it works well for me. At the worst situation, restart it and everything will be fine. It pops the robot checking window and I know when it requires too many. I feel better than the older version.
