[[email protected]: Re: API for search function (HighWire Press Feedback Form)]

Dear Developers,


I've ran into highwire.org which has a nice bibliography over magazines
not covered by medline, (Neural Computation) for instance). It queries
medline as well. Its API seems to be simple and it is possible to
hack a quick request feeder to it so it returns bibtex as the result on
the search. I've requested if it is possible to obtain direct API to the
search query so it returns bibtex without intermidiate
search/parse/request process, but as you see, I was told that such API
doesn't exist.

Anyways it seems to be very simple task to put this into pybliographer,
although I'm not sure if it should go as a separate dialog box or just
an option on medline query... I wish I had free time to get into details
of pybliographer programing but may be somebody else want to work on
this project? :-)

Sincerely
Yarik
