Web Lookup & new IATE Website

Question

Hi, 
 IATE entirely revamped their website and put it online today, November 12th. 
 The thing is that it is no longer working properly because they changed the URL. 
 It tried to re-create my Web Lookup search for the IATE website using the wizard under Settings > Guide. 
 When I pasted the resulting URL, the message said: 'Search phrase missing from URL. This will not work. Click the link below for help.' 
 I did that, and tried to re-build the URL manually but the source code from the new IATE website unfortunately didn't reveal any search phrase input box nor any search execute button. 
 Has anyone in the meantime come up with a working solution? 
 Thanks. 
 Eric

Hello Eric Le Carre , 
 I tested this myself and it does appear the IATE website as been updated and the normal search no longer works 
 
 However, when I go to SETTING (in Web Lookup 
 
 and then add the new address https://iate.europa.eu/home this appears to work for me- 
 
 What happens if you simply make a new entry with the new address?

Hello Eric Le Carre , 
 
Sorry if my screen shots were misleading. I was in fact testing the old and new URL's rather that testing the actual search function. 
As you have already mentioned IATE have updated their website, which means the search criteria has also changed (Web lookup is apparently still sending the query to a site that no longer exists. 
As the app itself will need updating - Mikael Weiner would be able to help with this I think

Hi Eric Le Carre 
 Unknown said: I read somewhere on the Web that IATE implemented a new API to access their revamped website. 
 There are two things here I think. 
 1. Trying to make weblookup work 
 2. Using the API (there wasn't a public API available at all until yesterday) 
 The API makes it possible for a developer to create a Terminology provider in Studio which would look up the IATE terminology results in realtime and work in the same way as MultiTerm does. I don't think you'll be able to write to their online termbases but you would be able to get term recognition and auto-suggest as you work.

I asked the weblookup developer to try and solve this and he was unable to, so unless IATE change something I think those kind of solutions are dead in the water. 
 
We ave built the terminology provider solution I mentioned however and can already get term recogntion as you work from IATE as if it was a MultiTerm termbase, and you can search it. We're working on the termbase viewer for completeness, but I think this will be a better solution anyway.
