url2bib is a commandline tool for converting URLs of papers into into BibTeX citations. It tries to use the publication information rather than the arXiv url.

pip install url2bib

url2bib https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11477

• Extracts DOIs from URLs and retrieves BibTeX citations for those DOIs.
• Searches for publications of the paper.
• Generates a BibTeX entry with a unified ID in the format {firstAuthorSurname}_{year}_{titleFirstWord}.

This script uses the bibtexparser library for parsing and generating BibTeX entries. It also relies on external data sources such as doi.org and dblp.org to fetch BibTeX entries.

This script is provided as-is, and the accuracy of the generated BibTeX entries depends on the availability and quality of external data sources. Always double-check and edit citations as needed for your research papers and publications.

Happy citing with url2bib!
