It might be interesting to also output BibLaTeX code, which has better support for preprints. The output for the suggested example would be

@online{1510.01797,
  author = {Hans-E. Porst and Ross Street},
  title = {Generalizations of the Sweedler dual},
  year = {2015},
  eprint = {1510.01797},
  eprinttype = {arxiv},
  eprintclass = {math.CT},  
}

The fun thing about this is that it is then possible to let your backend automatically create links to the abstract page (or the pdf if you like).

It might be interesting to have an API returning plaintext. This would be useful if you want to automatically generated BibTeX files by running an external script scraping .aux for arXiv-like citations, and then writing the appropriate output to a BibTeX file.

Having a link to the paper on the arXiv you just searched for could be useful, e.g. by making the arXiv identifier in the BibTeX output clickable.

The arXiv hosts preprints (though the papers might later be published too). You should therefore generate @Unpublished{} BibTeX entries rather than @Article{} entries. The correct format should be:

@Unpublished{
AUTOR = " author";
TITLE = "title";
NOTE = "arXiv preprint, available at \url{arXiv:1510.01719}";
YEAR = "2015";
}

It looks like the HTML and wiki setting omit the last author - e.g. for 2005.00897:
the bibtex entry gives:

Author = {Timothy P. McKenna and Jeremy D. Witmer and Rishi N. Patel and Wentao Jiang and Raphaël Van Laer and Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola and E. Alex Wollack and Jason F. Herrmann and Amir H. Safavi-Naeini}

But the HTML button gives:
Timothy P. McKenna, Jeremy D. Witmer, Rishi N. Patel, Wentao Jiang, Raphaël Van Laer, Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola, E. Alex Wollack, Jason F. Herrmann

and the Wiki entry gives:
Timothy P. McKenna, Jeremy D. Witmer, Rishi N. Patel, Wentao Jiang, Raphaël Van Laer, Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola, E. Alex Wollack, Jason F. Herrmann.

The web tool gives me blank page on Firefox and Chromium if I enter specific IDs like
1402.2830
which, however, exists:
http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.2830

Best,

A DOI URL may be resolved to BibTeX like so:

curl -sLH "Accept: text/bibliography; style=bibtex" "https://doi.org/10.1101/071282"

Is there a similar API for resolving an arXiv URL? The following for example returns XML rather than BibTeX.

curl -sLH "Accept: text/bibliography; style=bibtex" "http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?search_query=1708.01492"

thanks to everybody reporting this issue at http://www.besserweb.de/comments.php?id=42 and http://mathoverflow.net/questions/200886/automatically-generate-bibtex-item-from-arxiv .

When I tried to retrieve information for the article https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0304179, the website gave the result of another article in the math category:

@misc{math/0304179,
Author = {Sean Sather-Wagstaff},
Title = {Complete intersection dimension for complexes},
Year = {2003},
Eprint = {arXiv:math/0304179},
}

Similar bugs were found for links like: https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/*some numbers*.

Based on the issues explained at this TeX.se question it might be a better idea to put the names (if possible from the meta data that arXiv provides of course) in a different order.

Hello,
Thank you for the useful website!

May you add the markdown format as well?
It should be easy as it's like the Wiki format, just the link is formatted differently.
For example:
[arXiv:1909.08344](http://arxiv.org/abs/1909.08344)
instead of
[http://arxiv.org/abs/1909.08344 arXiv:1909.08344].

I will find it even more useful.
Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the https://arxiv2bibtex.org service! When using it, it's natural for me to paste in the search box the URL of an arXiv page, e.g., "https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.04626". The system doesn't understand this. So I just thought a nice feature would be to support URLs (and find the identifier there).

When I enter "1602.00370" for https://arxiv.org/pdf/1602.00370v2.pdf, the site comes up blank.
