Topic on Talk:Citoid

The QID citations are provided by Zotero too? I wonder, why this works on mediawiki integration, but it does´t work on Zotero desktop. Is there somewhere publically available the script which handles this?

Citoid converts QIDs to wikidata urls and hands the url to Zotero. It will work in Zotero too if you give it the full url, not just the QID.

Well, the idea is where to place that url in Zotero desktop (My Library), because if I add that via Add Item by Identifier it ends with an error ("Zotero could not find any identifiers in your input. Please verify your input and try again.") And I dont see there any other area, this could be added. So my itentsions are to create a Zotero plugin, which would let the userts to upload citation to Zotero desktop via QID and potetionally also improve Wikidata iteam in the future, by sharing their Zotero improvments. So thats why I was interested, why it works for Citoid, but doesnt work for Zotero desktop.

Well I have tried to navigate the browser to a certain item in Wikidata and grap the page via Zotero connection, and it looks like, I have created something, but saying something, because its way from the expected behaviour. Namely it manages the resourse as a web page, doesnt grap the author mentioned in the item. So I assume that is more like scrap some metadate from the website rather then mapping the item itself.
