download article PDFs using the ADS gateway links.query the article metadata (title, abstract, BibTeX, etc.) with the new API by article identifiers (no more in-house ADS/arxiv HTML parsing functions).The following functions have already been implemented in the package:
ADDING DOI BIBDESK INSTALL
On my working machine (Catalina), I set Python 3.8 from MacPorts as default: sudo port install python38 p圓8-pip p圓8-ipython While the program likely works on slightly older software versions, I don't focus on the backward compatibility. I've only tested the program on the following macOS setup: Choose 'Services > Add to Bibdesk' from the right-click menu.Highligh and right-click on the article identifider.Copy the article identifider to the clipboard, in any application.1998ApJ.500.525S, 2019arXiv190404507R)Ī full summary of ads2bibdesk commands is available via: ads2bibdesk -help
ADDING DOI BIBDESK UPDATE

To install the service, click Add to BibDesk.workflow and it will be moved to ~/Library/Services/. The option "-service" will create two files Add to BibDesk.workflow and Add to BibDesk.app in ~/Downloads/. Pip install -user -U -no-deps -force-reinstall -install-option= "-service " ads2bibdesk # from PyPI The command line script can be installed via: The API key can be written into your ads2bibdesk preference file ~/.ads/ads2bibdesk.cfg (see the template).įollowing the Python/ads package's instruction, one can also save the key to ~/.ads/dev_key or as an environment variable named ADS_DEV_KEY.Ĭredit to the contributors of the original for their initial implementation.

In short, to obtain access to the ADS Developer API, one must do two things:
ADDING DOI BIBDESK HOW TO
The instruction on how to obtain a key can be found on this official github repo: adsabs-dev-api. The project packaging now follows the new PyPA guideline.ĭue to the API usage, ads2bibdesk requires the user to specify a personal API key, per the new NASA/ADS policy.

The macOS workflow building process have been updated. Obsolete codes are replaced in favor of newer built-in Python modules with a simplified code structure. However, the query is handled with a python client for the ADS API ( ads, maintained by A. The program is loosely based on the original ads_bibdesk from J. Ads2bibdesk helps you add astrophysics articles listed on NASA/ADS to your BibDesk database using the new ADS Developer API.
