This looks good, but ebib already has a download facility for several sources. You can extend the list of sources for special handling instead of having to reimplement everything. Code starts here: https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib/blob/d882c2e9ea1bf4cc7dc98bc426e3b3fe563149fd/ebib-utils.el#L877 I did the initial implementation some years ago but it has been extended & refactored significantly since then.

Ah that's cool, I hadn't actually seen that. It seems like it assumes a url as input though, whereas I wanted to make choices based on many fields in bib entry, and mainly using the DOI. Sometimes the DOI is part of the URL, but often I want that to be different. Definitely a nice alternative though.
