Is it possible to fetch older issues of news magazines?

I'm wanting to download issues of The Economist older than the latest issue, in the 'fetch news' section of Calibre. Is this possible without scripting? If it isn't, could someone point me in the direction of good resources for opening up Calibre's functionality with scripting? Thank you.

Just edit the recipe on line 15

# For past editions, set date to, for example, '2020-11-28'
edition_date = None

For example, I used this date and it pulled up this issue. Use Saturday dates.
edition_date = '2024-04-13'

Thank you! I've downloaded an earlier version of The Economist based on your suggestion. But I looked at other recipes and I realized that not every recipe has the ability to change the publication date directly.
I found this api based on the API documentation for recipes shared by the creator of calibre, but unfortunately I don't know anything about programming and I can't read this stuff at all. How can I change the publication date in each recipe? Thanks again!

Apologies.I just got confused about the difference between publication date and edition date, and what I want to ask is actually how to change the edition date of each recipe?

If you are talking about other recipes besides The Economist, then each website and recipes will be different on how you get past issues (if it is even possible) which I know nothing about.

Is it possible to get older issues of Barron's

Is it possible to get older issues of Barron's

The code uses class 'BarronsTheme--archive-box' which is exactly same for all issues. I was trying to get the "issue" variable in line 85 of code from the href element which has the date, but have no idea how to do that.

Experts, please help!

use your link in archive = self.index_to_soup('') and remove the 4 lines below it. cover date desc are not possible.

and sometimes barrons wont respond to other links but you can try.

Barron past issue's cover

In the python recipe, is it possible to get past issue's cover link using regex?

e.g.
Code:
.*20231218.*(https:\/\/images.barrons.com\/im-\d{8})
will match the cover image link of issue "20231218" at https://www.barrons.com/magazine?archives=2023

Note that covers can also be manually added by saving the image to your computer and using Edit metadata/Change cover/Browse for each publication file. That may be more straightforward.
