mfs

Metadata fetcher (software)

Alpha quality software, use at your own risk!

I'm using this project to learn Rust, don't expect fully idiomatic, high quality code. If you have any advice, please create an issue. Thanks!

Usage

Fetching metadata for a DOI in the source format:

mfs pub doi "10.1016/s0009-2614(02)00639-5" -s datacite -s crossref

• -s can be specified multiple times, valid values are crossref, open-alex and datacite. Sources will be checked in the order specified in the command and the first match will be returned.

DOI can be provided via stdin using - as placeholder:

echo "10.1016/s0009-2614(02)00639-5" | mfs pub doi - -s datacite -s crossref

Right now only publication metadata, addressable via doi and returned in the raw format is available. This will be expanded in the future.
