These perl scripts are used to access the ADS database in an easy way, directly from the shell prompt. They are useful to build a bibtex database, retrieve pdf files of a list of paper, or to make simple statistics. There is two sets of scripts : the first one, somehow older, is based on LWP::UserAgent to access directly ADS web pages. The second is a rewrite of the latter using the Astro::ADS library.

You can find they on gitlab or as a tar.

 Scripts using the LWP::UserAgent library

  • get_author.pl : produce bibliography in the bibtex format from ADS, given an author name and start/stop year
  • get_bib.pl : retrieve the bibtex entry of an article in ADS given its journal, volume and page.
  • get_bibtex.pl : retrieve the bibtex entry of an article in ADS given its bibcode 

Scripts using the Astro::ADS library

  • adsastro.patch : patch for the Astro::ADS library to take the Journal/Volume/Page information as an entry
  • get_biblio.pl : retrieve a specific bibtex entry and the pdf of a given astro-ph or ADS article
  • process_list.pl : retrieve the pdf and bibtex entry of a list of mixed astro-ph and ADS (J/V/P) entries
  • get_astroph.pl : get the bibcode of an article published in astro-ph, given its id number
  • get_bibcode.pl : get the bibcode of an article published in ADS given its journal, volume and page
  • get_bibpdf.pl : retrieve the pdf of a given bibcode
