Zotero and Mendeley

Move search results and bibliographies into a reference manager.

Export-based, not a live sync

The scispace.com app offers Zotero sync for a user's own library. The API does not proxy it. Instead, export BibTeX or RIS and import with the target tool's own API or UI — which also means you are not coupled to our sync implementation.

cURL
curl https://api.scispace.com/v1/searches/srch_9dm2pq4x1a/export \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCISPACE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"format":"bibtex"}'

Returns a File with a download URL valid for one hour. Exports are free.

Per-entry formatting

When you need a specific journal style rather than a bulk export, format entries individually with citations — 2,000+ styles, free to call.

Deduplication

Match on DOI first; fall back to normalized title plus first-author surname plus year. Keep the SciSpace pap_ ID in a custom field (note in BibTeX, U1 in RIS) so you can round-trip later without re-resolving.
