fetchref

A simple, hacky command line utility for fetching article PDFs from Sci-Hub, book PDFs from Libgen and formatted citations from CrossRef from supplied DOIs and/or ISBNs.

Article download requires DOIs, while book downloads require ISBNs. Citations, on the other hand, can be fetched both from DOIs and ISBNs, although it should be noted that ISBNs are converted to DOIs by querying CrossRef which sometimes fails, especially for older books.

TODO

• release stuff
  • setup GitHub actions/releases
  • publish on pkg.go.dev
• add more functionality for managing citations
• add better logging/instrumentation
• add unit/integration tests
