Directly access Zotero via SQLite about citr HOT 5 CLOSED

You can only access the Zotero DB directly when Zotero is not running. It's trivial to make a plugin that would allow running queries on a running Zotero over HTTP though -- this could be used as-is or tweaked easily.

That would be great as BetterBib(La)TeX is not (yet) compatible with Zotero version 5 (retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex#555) !

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it more closely as soon as I get a chance.

(WRT BBT it's at this time more accurate to say that it's not feature-complete rather than not being compatible BTW; BBT for Z4 is not compatible with Z5 and cannot be given the extensive changes between Z4 and Z5, but BBT for Z5 is of course compatible with Z5)

As pointed out above, it doesn't look like it's possible to access the database if Zotero is running. As of late, access to group libraries can be achieved via BBT.
