Batch download bibtex data?

Question

Is there a way to batch download the bibtex data from Google Scholar or somewhere esle?

I tried a few GS Scrapers, e.g., https://github.com/gimoya/theBioBucket-Archives/blob/master/R/Functions/GScholarScraper_3.1.R

But none of them can download the bibtex files. A mysterious scisig key is need to fetch the file.

I also tried Jabref. It can get the bibtex files in bulk. But the advanced search features in GS are all disabled.

Thanks for any pointers.

I updated scholar.py with this functionality. See http://www.github.com/hildensia/scholar

$ ./scholar.py "Alan Turing Entscheidungsproblem" --bibtex --count 1

@article{turing1936computable,
  title={On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem},
  author={Turing, Alan M},
  journal={Proceedings of the London mathematical society},
  volume={42},
  number={2},
  pages={230--265},
  year={1936},
  publisher={London, UK}
}
