zenodopy

Project under active deveopment, not production ready

A Python 3.6+ package to manage Zenodo repositories.

Functions Implemented

• .create_project(): create a new project
• .upload_file(): upload file to project
• .download_file(): download a file from a project
• .delete_file(): permanently removes a file from a project
• .get_urls_from_doi(): returns the files urls for a given doi

Installing

PyPi

pip install zenodopy==0.3.0

GitHub

pip install -e git+https://github.com/lgloege/zenodopy.git#egg=zenodopy

Using the Package

1. Create a Zenodo access token by first logging into your account and clicking on your username in the top right corner. Navigate to "Applications" and then "+new token" under "Personal access tokens". Keep this window open while you proceed to step 2 because the token is only displayed once. Note that Sandbox.zenodo is used for testing and zenodo for production. If you want to use both, create for each a token as desribed above.
2. Store the token in ~/.zenodo_token using the following command.

# zenodo token
 { echo 'ACCESS_TOKEN: your_access_token_here' } > ~/.zenodo_token

# sandbox.zenodo token
 { echo 'ACCESS_TOKEN-sandbox: your_access_token_here' } > ~/.zenodo_token

3. start using the zenodopy package

import zenodopy

# always start by creating a Client object
zeno = zenodopy.Client(sandbox=True)

# list project id's associated to zenodo account
zeno.list_projects

# create a project
zeno.create_project(title="test_project", upload_type="other")
# your zeno object now points to this newly created project

# create a file to upload
with open("~/test_file.txt", "w+") as f:
    f.write("Hello from zenodopy")

# upload file to zenodo
zeno.upload_file("~/test.file.txt")

# list files of project
zeno.list_files

# set project to other project id's
zeno.set_project("<id>")

# delete project
zeno._delete_project(dep_id="<id>")

Notes

This project is under active development. Here is a list of things that needs improvement:

• more tests: need to test uploading and downloading files
• documentation: need to setup a readthedocs
• download based on DOI: right now you can only download from your own projects. Would be nice to download from
• asyncronous functions: use asyncio and aiohttp to write async functions. This will speed up downloading multiple files.
