I'm looking for a tool which generates a BibTeX item for a given arxiv id. I only found <http://www.crcg.de/arXivToBibTeX/> using Google but this tool always tells me that the arxiv ids I enter don't exist which is of course not true.


Edit: For example <http://www.crcg.de/arXivToBibTeX/?q=1503.06747&format=bibtex> gives the error message "No paper with the ID “1503.06747” could be found on the arXiv." even though it exists: <http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.06747>


Edit (by author of the discussed arXiv2BibTeX tool): Sorry for the inconvenience! The feedback website didn’t send us the e-mails with notes about the problem, so it took a while to discover your feedback. The tool is working again now at <https://arxiv2bibtex.org/> with a proper github issue tracker at <https://github.com/ssp/arXivToBibTeX/issues> .



Automatically generate BibTeX item from arxiv
If you omit the initial zero after the dot in the identifier, it [works](http://www.crcg.de/arXivToBibTeX/?q=1503.6747&format=bibtex).


I guess that the tool does some formatting mojo that hasn't been updated when arXiv [switched to 5-digit identifiers](http://arxiv.org/help/arxiv_identifier) last January.
