App problem finding bibcodes

[mmaclow]

I am getting the following error message in the log, and nothing happens.

2021-06-17 11:48:14 ads2bibdesk.ads2bibdesk.main [INFO] : Starting ADS to BibDesk
2021-06-17 11:48:25 ads2bibdesk.ads2bibdesk.process_token [INFO] : Found Zero or Multiple ADS antries for [valid API key]
2021-06-17 11:48:25 ads2bibdesk.ads2bibdesk.process_token [INFO] : No update in BibDesk

I just created the .ads directory (so no pre-existing files present) and added my brand new API key from ADS to ads2bibdesk.cfg, but still got this error.

It sounds like the query found a non-single match (and the query request did work, otherwise, an API response error will be returned):

Could you try ads2bibdesk -d "your_article_identifier"? The debug log might show the exact "Matching Number" returned from the ads server: zero or something else?

[mmaclow]

That command loaded the requested article successfully. I got the original error by clicking on the "add to bibdesk" app. I must have had the API key highlighted when I should have had a bibcode highlighted. So this has nothing to do with the API key (thus I have edited the issue title). However, I am still getting the same error if I do have a valid bibcode highlighted when I click on the app:

This might be the known issue related to the macOS privacy feature (see README.rst and #8), which could prevent one app to access text from another app.
I assume you're using Catalina or Big Sur?

[mmaclow]

Yep, Catalina. I was trying to use the app to access text highlighted in Google Chrome, though, which is listed as OK in the referenced issue. Well, I guess I can live with the CLI, so let me not take up any more of your time.
