Hello,

We seemed to stumble upon a problem with getting information for many 
records at a time from INVENIO. 

Namely, we have implemented a simple bibliography information export 
within the ScienceWISE from INSPIRE/CDS. 

Since neither INSPIRE nor CDS provide API for this case, we extract the 
bibliography information directly from the HTML pages via GET request. 
Here's an example of extracting LaTeX(EU) bibliography for 2 articles:
http://inspirebeta.net/search?p=arxiv:1009.0218+or+arxiv:1105.1075&rg=2&of=hlxe

We tried to use the POST requests instead of GET but received an error
"405 Method not allowed". So far we cannot extract more than
approximately 300 articles at a time due to the "414 Request URI too long"
error. Since this problem occurs both in INSPIRE and CDS it seems to be an 
INVENIO related.

Is there a possibility in INSPIRE to get bibliographic information for 
hundreds of records at a time other than GET? According to Samuele, the 
POST request should have worked but it does.

With the best regards,

Oleg on behalf of the ScienceWISE.info team
