Add www.biodiversitylibrary.org to the websearch options

[RJDan]

Older literature is not easily recovered by the available databases (particularly books).

Describe the solution you'd like
Have https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography added to the available databases to aid in searching for (in this case, biology) material.

[Siedlerchr]

Biology is not my research domain, but the site seems cool ;)
Some info about API can be found here:
https://about.biodiversitylibrary.org/tools-and-services/developer-and-data-tools/#APIs
Seems to be relatively straightforward to implement.

Hey, I am Ankush. I am a newbie programmer, but I really want to contribute to this project(Open-source in general). Could you please guide me to resolve this issue?
I only know java, dsa and currently learning web development.

[Siedlerchr]

Welcome to JabRef! Check out our Contribution Guide https://devdocs.jabref.org/contributing
As a starting point, look at the Fetchers in org/jabref/logic/importer/fetcher

[Ankush142930]

Okay, thanks a lot @Siedlerchr. I will do the aforesaid.

Hello, I am also new to open source contributions and I would love to help. Are there any articles or guides that I can read to understand how to implement this?

[Siedlerchr]

See my comment above. In general, try to look into existing fetchers to understand how it's working in general. @etienne428 maybe can also add some hints on where to start (He's also currently working on fetchers)

[Azhen917]

@etienne428 Hello! Thanks for the guidance! I've been reading the implementation of the other fetchers and I've managed to come up with this so far:

I am currently lost as to what to do with the getParser method. Any further help is much appreciated!

[Azhen917]

Thanks for the tips, I've pushed the changes to my repo as instructed. Please let me know if I did anything improperly.

Hi! I'm trying to contribute in that issue and i have a question. That API need a key to validate the request. Have some indication of how to work with that kind of variable or i can just define a static variable inside of the class?
That key is get with an email so i'm thinking if it's not a env variable situation...

Hi! I'm also trying to contribute. Checking the other implementations I found that there is a file that has the api keys. Look the file BuildInfo

[Siedlerchr]

Yes, the BuildInfo is correct. You can use that for testing. During the Build we replace some of the APi keys there with keys from environment variables.

Thank you for reporting this issue. We think, that is already implemented in our development version and consequently the change will be included in the next release.

We would like to ask you to use a development build from https://builds.jabref.org/main.
