command line support or API for translators
I have a python bibliography/scraper (i.e., thunderdell) and zotero's translators far exceed what I could do, hence I'd like to be able to call them. Is there a api, command line invocation, or wrapper whereby I can provide an URL and get a bibliography result (bibtex, DOMS, json, biblatex, etc.)?
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.

There is also an aborted project to do the same without using XULRunner:

These would still require some additional work to make them provide formats like BibTeX and MODS, but all the code is there. If you go this route, direct questions and the like to the Zotero development mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev
