Bibcode existence check

[msdemlei]

For the IVOA document repo to ADS converter, I'd like to (in the future) filter out records ADS already has, and I'd like to avoid local state to do this (i.e., an already-uploaded.txt file).

For that, at one point, the API let me post a list of bibcodes to a query like

q=%2A%3A%2A&fq=%7B%21bitset%7D&wt=json&fl=bibcode

Any chance this might come back in some form or another?

Or what else should I do to mass-check for the existence of bibcodes?

Sorry Markus for the delay - I've been tied up with ORCiD

This query is still there, I'm updating the API documentation....(today)

And a good news is that we plan to have a service that validates set of bibcodes, that one is coming relatively soon.
