Thanks for the feedback. Originally, clicking the style pill button refreshed the citation (in the selected style), which I think is the behavior you're describing. It sounds like I should go back to that behavior.

Have the server respond with the necessary info but generate the style client side instead of server side. There doesn't appear to be any need to make trips back to the server to change styles. Also, " http://google.com" complains about robots.txt, but " http://google.com/" (trailing slash) does not.

It didn't work with the ISBN I tried: 978-0-06-121495-0. For the paperback of this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_Your_Dangerous_Idea%3F . A google search on the ISBN finds it. EDIT: aha, you have to remove dashes for it to work. It should probably do this automatically.

For interest, you can do something like this on the command line using curl. Try these: curl -LH "Accept: text/bibliography" "http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022112061000019" curl -LH "Accept: text/bibliography; style=bibtex" "http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022112061000019" curl -LH "Accept: text/bibliography; style=apa" "http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022112061000019" My academic life became a lot simpler when I learnt this -…

This works great! I looked into doi.org before but I wasn't sure what their ratelimit is. I'm currently using phantomJS and google scholar for DOIs, and I think I might have hit their rate limit already, so I will take a second look at this!

p.s. I found I had to use 'data.crossref.org' instead of 'dx.doi.org' when I scripted it (python + requests). Not sure why exactly (doi was redirecting to crossref anyway).

    import requests
    import json

    url = 'http://data.crossref.org/10.1017/S0022112061000019'
    headers = {'Accept': 'application/citeproc+json'}
    r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    meta = json.loads(r.content)
    # meta is a dictionary of metadata, e.g. meta['DOI']
