+In May 2024, The Economist finally fixed its paywall, and it started requiring authorization. Which means you can’t use this bridge unless you have an active subscription.
+If you do, the way to use the bridge is to snitch a cookie:
+-
+
- Log in to The Economist +
- Open DevTools (Chrome DevTools or Firefox Developer Tools) +
- Go to https://www.economist.com/the-world-in-brief + +
- In DevTools, go to the “Network” tab, there select the first request (
the-world-in-brief) and copy the value of theCookie:header from “Request Headers”.
+
The cookie lives three months.
+Once you’ve done this, add the cookie to your config.ini.php:
[EconomistWorldInBriefBridge]
+cookie = "<value>"
