This is kind of coming at it from the other direction, but here’s their developer documentation on how to expose metadata, which maybe gives some clues? https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata.

I also wonder if someone on their developer mailing list might have an answer?  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/zotero-dev

Subject: [CODE4LIB] zotero and extracting files

The Zotero browser plugin seems to have the ability to extract metadata (e.g., author name) and PDF from a publisher's page.

From a screen reader perspective this is helpful as it avoids having to learn how to navigate publisher's pages.

Anyone have time to talk about how this done via phone?
