There were some other issues and bugs I fixed as well. I also noted that Google Books allows to download BibTeX code directly via another URL, but the data, even for the same book, is not the same. Thus, this revised search uses both sources/methods and then merges the results. I made a force-push, in case you wonder. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Thanks for working on this! It took some effort to build against Qt6, but I did
succeed and all the books I've tried so far are working.
Couple of thoughts:
It probably makes sense to synthesize an ID field rather than using the Google
Books ones that look like "GoogleBooks:fnG8BAAAQBAJ".
The URL field has a bunch of useless stuff in it, all of the following links
for this book are previews of the book:
{http://books.google.com/books/download/Ecoregions-sample-epub.acsm?id=fnG8BAAAQBAJ=epub=acs4_fulfillment_token_type=sample=gbs_api
http://books.google.com/books/download/Ecoregions-sample-pdf.acsm?id=fnG8BAAAQBAJ=pdf=acs4_fulfillment_token_type=sample=gbs_api
http://play.google.com/books/reader?id=fnG8BAAAQBAJ==gbs_api}
It would be better to link to the official Google Books page, even if the link
has to be synthesized: https://books.google.com/books?id=fnG8BAAAQBAJ

I was not aware that Google Books offered an API for that without the need for registration or API keys. I made an initial version. Please test and check if it is working. https://invent.kde.org/thomasfischer/kbibtex/-/commit/8e723e9f3cf7b0f8b9895edeb6b83147c4e4033c For WorldCat OCLC, KBibTeX had support until 5-10 years ago. It was removed as API keys became necessary and KBibTeX didn't get one. Scrapping webpages would only a last resort as it can break at any point in time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
