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:/

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.
