antifind
Search online databases for movies, TV, music, papers, and books, and emit BibTeX.
Install
pip install antifind
# or
uv tool install antifind
Usage
antifind KIND QUERY [-n N] [-o refs.bib]
KIND is one of movie, tv, music, paper, or book:
antifind paper "attention is all you need" # → stdout
antifind paper "attention is all you need" -o refs.bib # append to a .bib
antifind movie "blade runner" --year 1982 -n 3
antifind tv "the wire"
antifind music "kind of blue"
antifind book "the name of the rose"
By default it prints the single best match to stdout. With -o FILE, results are
appended to a .bib with de-duplication (matching entries fill missing fields;
--no-merge to skip, --force to append with an auto-suffixed key).
Options
| flag | effect |
|---|---|
-n N |
number of results (default: 1) |
-o, --output FILE |
append results to this .bib (default: stdout) |
--year YEAR |
constrain by year (movie/tv only) |
--no-merge |
on duplicate, skip instead of filling missing fields |
--force |
append even if a duplicate exists |
