# citation-grabber
Automatically download your bookmarked citations from Google Scholar in BibTex format.
## Prerequisites
[Node.js](https://nodejs.org) and [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/install) is installed.
## Installation
* Download or clone this repo
* navigate to its folder in a terminal
* run:
```shell
npm install
```
## Configuration
Duplicate the file [config.js.sample](https://github.com/dmstern/citation-grabber/blob/master/config.js.sample), remove the `.sample` suffix and configure the parameters for your needs.
## Usage
### In a terminal
```shell
npm start
```
### In TexStudio
* Create a new macro ("macros" > "edit macros...")
* Click on "Add"
* Name it
* At "Type" select "Script"
* Latex Content: Fill in this script:
**_Windows:_**
```js
%SCRIPT
system("npm.cmd start", workingDirectory="[path-to-citation-grabber]")
```
_(Example:)_
```js
%SCRIPT
system("npm.cmd start", workingDirectory="C:/Users/morge/projects/citation-grabber/")
```
**_Linux:_**
```js
%SCRIPT
system("npm start", workingDirectory="/home/dmstern/projects/citation-grabber")
```
Now you can pull the your newest Google Scholar catations right from TeXStudio by pressing Shift+F[NumberOfMacro].
## Troubleshooting
* Sometimes you have to run the script several times until it works.
* If you want to see what citation-grabber is actually doing, run
```shell
npm run start:dev
```
* Alternatively (or additionally), you can run citation-grabber in debug mode by setting `debugMode: true` in your `config.js` file. This will take screenshots from every step of citation grabbing process.
