Pubmed file retriever #5
Description
Another category, besides data integrity (#4), should be file retrieval. One current request in particular is to add documents by Pubmed ID. The code would go from Pubmed ID to file, download the file, then upload it to Mendeley using this code base. The resolution and retrieval should be handled by other code bases.
I'm tempted to start a Python specific implementation of a Pubmed API that differs from BioPython. Alternatively, the code could just wrap BioPython. This code has been started in pypub but needs to move. File resolution could be done initially via Crossref to publisher scraping. Eventually we could throw in some Google Scholar action.
For this code base the main work would be to check that the PMID isn't currently in the library, then to call the other code and once the paper has been downloaded upload it to create a new entry.
