I must admit I have never understood this.  Given the effort required to
write a paper and presumably to read the paper you are citing, clicking on
a link labelled "Citation export" to get a bibtex entry seems to me to be a
completely insignificant effort. I can see if you want to extract a bibtex
database of the entire journal archive, an automated API might be useful,
but for actual document authors, needing individual entries, what is the
workflow that you are imagining here?
