How to get Bibtex Works Citations from API v3? *automating get bibtex from ORCIDs*

[Job Diogenes Ribeiro Borges]

When API v1.X was working we could generate bibtex using

[work-citation][citation] fields.

Now these fields does not exist more.

Ok,  users could  export Bibitex. But I could not found a way to 

get this bibtex export even after get users OAUTH 

Any ideias?

Thanks

Hi there, 

 If the bibtex citation is in the metadata of the publication item, you can do a GET item call to obtain the citation in the XML/JSON metadata. 

Bear in mind that in order for you to obtain the bibtex citation, you would have to do a GET call to the specific item (/work/PUT-CODE) and not the work sections in general (/works). If you do a GET /works call, you will get a summarized response of all the work items of that record. This summarized response does not contain the bibtex citation. 

 Find here an API call example: 

 GET https://pub.orcid.org/v3.0/0000-0003-3027-4662/work/PUT-CODE 

 And the API response example in XML: 

<common:created-date>2022-04-10T12:53:45.064Z</common:created-date>
   <common:last-modified-date>2022-04-10T12:53:45.064Z</common:last-modified-date>

Great, thanks very much.

Hi,

I am trying to use the bibtex field as well, but it seems that it is not always present. Actually, I only rarely find it.

Is there any way to get it systematically, or to know in advance (from the works list) if it is present?

Thanks in advance!
