export-citation

# exportCitation Resolves identifiers and serialises the resulting items to a bibliography file. Targets reference managers (Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, RefWorks) and LaTeX workflows (BibTeX/Overleaf). ## When to use - The user wants to import citations into Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, or a LaTeX project. - An agent needs a `.ris`, `.bib`, or `.json` artifact to attach to a draft. ## Inputs - `text` (string) OR `items` (CSL-JSON[]) — Input identifiers or pre-resolved items. - `format` (string, required) — `ris`, `bibtex`, `csl-json`, `endnote-xml`, `refworks`, `nbib`, `rdf`, `csv`, or `txt`. - `style` (string, optional) — Only used when `format=txt` (selects the formatter style). ## Outputs Plain-text body in the requested format with appropriate `Content-Type` and `Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=...` headers. ## Underlying surfaces - **REST**: `POST /api/export`. - **MCP tool**: `exportCitation`. ## Example ```bash curl -sS -X POST "https://scholar-sidekick.com/api/export" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"text":"10.1038/nphys1170\n9780306406157","format":"ris"}' \ -o citations.ris ``` ## See also - `formatCitation` for inline-rendered references. - [`/docs.md#post-apiexport`](https://scholar-sidekick.com/docs.md) for full format reference.
