Background ---------- The [FindStat][1] project encourages contributors to provide references for combinatorial statistics. I am currently redesigning the way such references are processed. In future, a contributor should only type something like [[arxiv:1234.5678]] or [[MO168885]], without providing any further information. The program then will fetch author and title from the various websites. This was (relatively) easy for the arXiv, but for mathoverflow citations (which occur a lot, by nature of the site), I'm hitting a problem: Question -------- Which request should my program send to mathoverflow.net to get the bibtex, which is so well hidden behind the share button. Rephrased: what I'm after is something analogous to a link like: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2011arXiv1111.3349P&data_type=BIBTEX which serves the bibtex for arXiv articles.
