Include BibLaTeX?
Oh, super nice! I had this in mind for a while, but never found the time (currently using an old bash script from a colleague for that).
Just a request – would it be possible to also provide BibLateX entries?
What's the format differences between BibTeX and BibLaTeX? Sorry I'm not familiar with BibLaTeX.
If it's a request type from https://doi.org it should be possible I imagine.
It is minor differences as soon as the DOI is given I think (for example there exist @online types.
One main difference is the date field (instead of year / month) and journaltitle instead of just journal. Also it has unicode support, that's why I use it.
The main things are listed in 2.3 (p. 34) in https://ctan.uib.no/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf I think
Okay, I see: I didn't know the biblatex package also had its own format - I always assumed it just took the ordinary BibTeX format.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the crosscite API provides a BibLaTeX-formatted return type, cf. https://citation.crosscite.org/docs.html#sec-4.
In principle, we could make a fixed set of replace calls to the entry names, but - same as #3 - it would probably only work well if we include a proper BibTeX parser first.
I remember some (probably python) package that could convert the necessary fields, maybe including that (probably again more in a BibTeX package) would be the better idea then, sure.
