Issues with CSL export

[rjfarmer]

I'm trying to implement the CSL export option ( /export/csl) and are running into a few issues:

First the documentation (https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/help/api/api-docs.html#post-/export/csl) says you want "bibcodes" when its actually "bibcode" singular:

data = {
 "bibcodes": '2021ApJ...923..214F',
 "style": "aastex",
 "format": 1,
 "journalformat": 1,
  "sort": "first_author desc",
  }

Which gets the following response:

response={'error': 'no bibcode found in payload (parameter name is `bibcode`)'}

Even so, passing 'bibcode':

data = {
 "bibcode": '2021ApJ...923..214F',
 "style": "aastex",
 "format": 1,
 "journalformat": 1,
  "sort": "first_author desc",
  }

Gets a:

response={'error': 'no result from solr'}, status=404

On a whim I tried newline separating the bibcode (like a bigquery) and that gets somewhere:

data = {
 "bibcode": '2021ApJ...923..214F\n',
 "style": "aastex",
 "format": 1,
 "journalformat": 1,
  "sort": "first_author desc",
  }

But that returns a seemingly random result (though the same result independent of the bibcode I use)

response={'msg': 'Retrieved 1 abstracts, starting with number 1.', 'export': '\\bibitem[Khanna(2021)]{2021pte1.book.....K} Khanna, V. K.\\ 2021, Practical Terahertz Electronics: Devices and Applications, Volume 1, by Khanna, Vinod Kumar. ISBN: 978-0-7503-3169-2. IOP ebooks. Bristol, UK: IOP Publishing, 2021. doi:DOI:\n'}, status=200

Okay i see the problem in the end, even though the you want a 'bibcode' singular you actually want a list of bibcodes. Could the documentation be made clearer? (or convert the api to use bibcodes (plural). export/custom has this as well (asking for bibcodes but it wants bibcode)

Hi Robert, I've fixed this bug in the API docs ("bibcodes" > "bibcode" where needed - it was in a few other spots than where you'd seen as well). I also updated the description text on that field to clarify that it can take one or more bibcodes. Thanks for pointing this out to us! Kelly
