With package biblatex and bibprogram biber you can save the bibliography
on a server and then load it by the remote key:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource[location=remote]{https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/bibtex/bib/biblatex/biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}

\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[type=book]
\end{document}
