Hi,
please bear with me for terminology, I'm not a librarian.
I'm trying to improve the Zotero translator for Primo catalogs. The
translator works decently well for books by looking at the PNX data we
get by attaching &showPnx=true to the end of the item/detail view URL.
Unfortunately, most libraries don't provide PNX data that way for
articles (for legal reasons? Interestingly the British Library does).
I'm looking for ideas to get at some form of structured metadata for
journal articles in Primo. I was able to get RIS for some
implementations - Muenster university library e.g. - by using a post
request to PushToAction.do?(...)&pushToType=EndNoteLocal&fromEshelf=false
but that didn't work for other implementations - I checked Boston U
and Northwestern which also don't list local endnote/ris export as an
option.
Are there any other thoughts that could apply more universally?

Thanks for any input,
best,
