Given a Open Journal System (OJS) root URL and an authorization token, cache all JSON files associated with the given OJS title, and optionally output rudimentary bibliographics in the form of a tab-separated value (TSV) stream. OJS is a journal publishing system. [1] Is supports a REST-ful API allowing the developer to read & write to the System's underlying database. [2] This hack -- the OJS Toolbox -- merely caches & reads the metadata associated with the published issues of a given journal title. The Toolbox is written in Bash. To cache the metadata, you will need to have additional software as part of your file system: curl and jq. [3, 4] Curl is used to interact with the API. Jq is used to read & parse the resulting JSON streams. When & if you want to transform the cached JSON files into rudimentary bibliographics, then you will also need to install GNU Parallel, a tool which makes parallel processing trivial. [5].
