Metadata for arXiv
==================
The goal of this repository is to provide a minimal API to put metadata on arXiv papers.
TODO: Better description.

@ -9,15 +14,38 @@ For building `opendetex` (which is a necessary dependency), you will need
* Clone this repository: `git clone https://github.com/Phyks/arxiv_metadata`.
* Init submodules (`opendetex`): `git submodule init; git submodule update`.
* Build `opendetex`: `cd reference_fetcher/opendetex; make`.
* [This is all if you only want to use the `reference_fetcher`. Else, go on reading]
* Download required Python modules: `pip install -r requirements.txt`.
* You are ready to go.
## Usage
## Test it
You can test it easily using the Bottle built-in webserver. This is the default configuration.
To start the app, just run `python3 ./main.py` and head to http://localhost:8080.
You should not use this server in production, and should edit `main.py` accordingly.
## Associated library
`reference_fetcher` is a module you can use to:
* Fetch DOIs (or arXiv ids) of papers referenced by a given paper on arXiv (or any other paper, provided that you have a .bbl file).
* Fetch DOI associated with a given arXiv paper (if any).
* Fetch the arXiv identifier associated to a given DOI (if any).
* and more :)
`fetch_references.py` script in the root folder is here to show you how to use it and to serve as a minimal example.
### Usage
* `./fetch_references.py some_file.bbl` to get a list of DOIs associated to each `\bibitem`.
* `./fetch_references.py arxiv_eprint_id` to get a list of DOIs associated to each reference from the provided arXiv eprint.
## Example
### Example
```
$ ./fetch_references.py 1401.2910
