ID selection?

Hi! Just a brief comment on ID selection (I don't know if this is changeable or where the data in barcodes.txt comes from): I'd argue for using the AC number. This is an identifier that should be unique within the Austrian library world. The barcode IDs might be ambiguous for the purpose. Otherwise, the script does what it should :)

I use the barcode to request content from SACHA, and as far as I understood AC numbers do not work there. Do you know if it's possible somehow?

Sorry, I don't. In fact, for that particular task it does not matter since you are only scraping from that particular data source where the barcodes are sufficiently unique. It was just a reflex coming from numerous times where people from the .at library world told me to use the AC number as an identifier if possible :)
