Actually, I've been using the NASA/ADS site for over a decade for importing into Bibdesk. The interfaces of both have changed over that period, and the current method I use does allow direct creation of bibtex records and conversioon of them to Bibdesk records.
The process i use is as follows: . Paste the NASA/ADS URL https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu<https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/> into the Bibdesk Webgroup URL window - this opens the website . Search NASA/ADS for author, date etc to get a list of papers . Select one of the papers, which opens the paper title, abstract and authors . Click the "Export citation" link which displays the bibtex information (the default format of many options) . Click the button to copy the bibtex data to the clipboard . Select the Library in the Bibdesk left column . From the OSX menu bar, select Publication > New publication from clipboard ... this creates the Bibdesk record . Drag the publication PDF which I have already downloaded into the right hand Bibdesk window, and save the record. It would be simpler if the NASA/ADS link were available as a direct link in Bibdesk, instead of having to copy and paste the url into the webgroup URL window.

However, I have no idea if they have any service to get the (bibtex) citation info. And scraping is often hard and easily breaks, and the way they show the information is actually incomplete. Moreover I am not sure the way the page loads allows us to scrape, as it does not seem to reload the page, so we don’t know when citations are displayed.
