Upgrade StorageHow to automate reference import from a website
Dear forum participants,
For some textometric analysis (http://textometrie.ens-lyon.fr/?lang=en), I need first to download large bodies of world bank publications into Zotero (metadata + pdf). A good point is that they are all available in a website that is "translated" by zotero: http://ideas.repec.org/s/wbk/wbrwps.html
Unfortunately, there is no option to "bulk import" from this page (ie. no folder icon appears in my url bar in firefox). This means that I would need to click on the 6000+ links and click on the file icon that appears on each one.
Does someone know if there is a way to do that on an automated way? An idea would be for me to write a macro saying "go to this URL and download through the zotero translator". Indeed the URLs follow a regular naming rule:
http://ideas.repec.org/p/wbk/wbrwps/1.html
http://ideas.repec.org/p/wbk/wbrwps/2.html
...
http://ideas.repec.org/p/wbk/wbrwps/6257.html
Thanks in advance for your ideas and best regards,
Florent

flobedeDear Adamsmith, it seems that large bulk importation is now working on Ideas portal. I guess from I see in Github that you're the author of these corrections. Thank you very much and happy new year!
