upload big files to Zenodo.org using cURL, jq and bash

Uploading big files to https://zenodo.org from the commandline using the Zenodo API is not straight forward. zenodo_upload.sh tries to make this a little easier.

Inspired by Max Ogden's gist at https://gist.github.com/maxogden/b758cf0fe6d353846ef9ce7d03fdca0c .

1. jq
2. curl
3. bash

1. open a terminal
2. clone this repository
3. set environment variable ZENODO_TOKEN to Zenodo access token (see https://zenodo.org/account/settings/applications/tokens/new/)

export ZENODO_TOKEN=[Zenodo access token]

4. create a new publication in Zenodo using the web ui, enter some information (e.g., title) and click save
5. in the browser, copy the deposition id (e.g., in https://zenodo.org/deposit/12345 , 12345 is the deposition id)
6. in terminal and upload a file using

./zenodo_upload.sh [deposition id] [filename]

7. on completion, you should see something like:

+ curl ...
######################################################################## 100.0%

8. in the web ui, refresh the deposition page and observe that the file was uploaded.
