Calls to the zotxt endpoint result in 403 error.

This is visible in the findByBBTkey function.

When I run org-zotxt-insert-reference-link it calls something like /zotxt/search?q=test&method=titleCreatorYear&format=quickBib. Performing the same call by hand, curl "http://127.0.0.1:23119/zotxt/search?q=test&method=titleCreatorYear&format=quickBib"
results in

And similarly, curl "http://127.0.0.1:23119/zotxt/version" results in

When I use "C-c " i" command in emacs, an error occur

After using zotero debugging and searching the logs for zotxt, I only found

}%
"$curl 'http://localhost:23119/zotxt/search?q={word_for_query}&format=bibliography'" also get a correct response.
I wonder how to solve this, thanks!

environment:
macos Monterey 12.6 (21G115)=> Emacs Version 28.2 (9.0)=> zotero 6.0.15

I just tried to insert a citation to a paper by Esa Díaz-León, using the Better BibTeX Citation key "Díaz-LeónWhat2015". However, zotxt responds: "Díaz-LeónWhat2015 had no results". I tried changing the citation key to "Diaz-LeonWhat2015", but that just gives the same error. I can reproduce that behaviour with other citation keys that contain non-ASCII characters.

I conjecture that zotxt uses the citation key to search for the author, so forcing an ASCII citation key doesn’t help, because the author name is not saved in ASCII. My best guess for why the UTF-encoded citation key is not found are unicode normalisation issues. It may be that my editor enforces a different normal form than Zotero. I’m not sure how to best address this, since applications have some leeway when it comes to normal forms. But if my guess is right, it’s probably best to normalise incoming strings to NFC, since that is what web sites should use; it's also the most common one.

I’ll investigate further when I have more time.

Thanks for looking into this!

Last few days Zotero 7 entered beta phase, most plugins doesnt support it yet, are there already an roadmap to update this plugin?

When using non-latin characters to search/query for references with non-latin characters in them, zotxt doesn't provide any results.

This issue was reported on a separate plugin here: shivams/zim-zotero-plugin#1, but I now realize that it's an issue with zotxt, as Zotero's default search actually works with non-latin characters.

Hi, I used to have Zotero working in sync with Emacs using zotxt until, I guess 1. Aug, when some update happened on Zotero end. My Zotero version is 6.0.26, I ran into issues with BBT renaming, so I had to update BetterBibTeX plugin to 6.7.101 and ZotFile to v5.1.3 (development version). I have Zotxt (v6.0.2) plugin installed. I noticed that Emacs is not picking up newly added references, and I can no longer see the settings related to BetterBibTeX plugin inside Zotero preferences. Am I missing something? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I'm trying to use zotxt via the org-zotxt package in Emacs. It appears to work for items in "My Library", which I can insert via C-c " i. However, it doesn't find anything in my group libraries. I'm not sure if this is an issue with zotxt, org-zotxt, or zotxt.el, or me. Is it possible to retrieve items from Group Libraries via zotxt, and if so, what should I be doing to enable this?

Thanks,

Tyler

Could you add a "locale" or "lang" parameter that we could use to ask Zotero for bibliographies formatted for specific locales?

Different locales use different punctuation and different localized strings for "editor", "and", "in", etc.

Switching default locale manually in the Zotero app is possible but cumbersome (needs restarting). Too cumbersome for my use case (generating a multi-language static web site with references in multiple documents).

Back in the days of zotero-plain I tweaked zotero-generate-bib-entry to do this by replacing the "bibliography=" string in the second parameter in the call to Zotero.QuickCopy.getContentFromItems with a contentformat object that included a "locale" property containing a language code like "fr". I seem to remember that I had it working smoothly. Perhaps something like that could be done for zotxt.

I'm using Zotero v5.0.72 and zotxt 5.0.2.

When I try to retrieve citation data for an item via a GET request to http://127.0.0.1:23119/zotxt/items?easykey=<KEY>, Zotero responds with "Request not allowed". I can reproduce this for other endpoints.

I have recently upgraded to Zotero (the error also occurs in v5.0.71), which may (or may not) have caused the issue. I'm using the zotero-bibliography setting, so I can’t tell when things stopped working.

Do you have any idea what's going on?

Hi,

zotxt-5.1.0 cannot be installed into Juris-M which is a fork of Zotero (https://juris-m.github.io/), says:

The add-on "zotxt" could not be installed. It may be incompatible with this version of Jurism.

Thanks!

First of all, thanks for your awesome extension!

I hit the following bug:

This seems related to #3 but it differs in the file missing.

Is it possible for a query to return the bib entry that would be produced by using Better BibTex?

I don't mind digging into the code face first, but it doesn't hurt to ask if I missed zotxt documentation.

is there one ? thanks!

hello,

The last version 5.1.2 does not work, at least on my setup.

emacs-zotxt reports the following error message:

\"http://127.0.0.1:23119/zotxt/items?key=1_JU4BZUWT&format=paths\" :response #0 :encoding utf-8) #<killed buffer> \"HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found

deferred error : (error "Zotxt version endpoint not found; is Zotero running and zotxt installed?")
user-error: Minibuffer window is not active

zotxt works fine with version 5.1.0. I have not tested the intermediate release.

When trying to install pandoc-zotxt from pip (Python 2 or 3) I get the error:

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

    file = builtins.open(filename, mode, buffering)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip-build-hfqj1v_j/pandoc-zotxt/../README.rst'

because there is no README.srt file.

It can be correctly installed from source by having a README.srt file on the parent directory.

Have seen a few of these among the recent issues, but I seem to encounter it with zotxt 5.1.4.

I see two mentions of zotxt in my zotero logs;

once at the very start:

version => 5.0.96.2, platform => MacIntel, oscpu => Intel Mac OS X 10.15, locale => en-US, appName => Zotero, appVersion => 5.0.96.2, extensions => Zotero Word for Mac Integration (5.0.36.SA.5.0.96.2, extension), Zotero LibreOffice Integration (5.0.25.SA.5.0.96.2, extension), zotxt (5.1.4, extension), Better BibTex for Zotero (5.4.10, extension, disabled)

and once at the end, when I'd curl'ed the version endpoint, as curl http://127.0.0.1:23119/zotxt/version:

(5)(+0173681): GET /zotxt/version HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:23119 User-Agent: curl/7.64.1 Accept: */* 
(5)(+0000014): HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found X-Zotero-Version: 5.0.96.2 X-Zotero-Connector-API-Version: 2 Content-Type: text/plain No endpoint found

and where "No endpoint found" was the response I saw at the CLI.

I'll note, I'm running the same versions of Zotero and zotxt on a linux box, and there they work fine.

Any ideas to try? Thank you.

see this

I looked for collection support in emacs-zotxt but it seems zotxt may need to provide an API for it first? Please refer to [1] for details.

egh/zotxt-emacs#39 (comment)

Hi,
The latest version of zotero (version 4.0.29.10) does not support this extension. Any updates or possibility of compatibility?

Regards
Cloud

First, thanks a lot for your work! And, although I’m sure that you’ve got in your radar, please upgrade zotxt to work with Zotero 5. (I’m mostly posting this issue so that I’m notified once it’s done.) Thanks a lot!

I believe a new release of better bibtext has broken something in zotxt. The key issue seems it might be TypeError: zotero.BetterBibTeX.KeyManager.keys.findOne is not a function

My setup:
Zotero 6.0.27
Better BibTex for Zotero 6.7.132
zotxt 6.0.2
I am accessing zotxt through the pandoc-zotxt.lua filter in emacs 29.1 on Windows 10

Zotxt failed to find items in my Zotero bibliography. When I rolled back to Better Bibtext v6.7.100, things worked as they should. (I chose that version arbitrarily; I didn't test every release going back.)

The Zotero debugger gives me the output below. I have included the entries on either side of the errors.

This is wonderful project. I am very grateful to you. I hope you will be kind enough to fix this issue.

Is zotxt compatible with windows? I'm running the most recent version of Zim Wiki, but there is no "Add-ons" option in the Tools Menu.

"Custom Tools" seems like it might be close, but there is no install from file option, just commands that can be pasted in.

Thanks for any advice you can provide.

I can not install the add-on because on installing firefox shows the pop-up message: "This add-on could not be istalled because it appears to be corrupt"

I'm on linux (64-bit), Firefox 73.0

This request is to allow pandoc-zotxt to create permanent citation file (perhaps in the same folder as the original file), avoiding the need run pandoc-zotxt every time that pandoc is used to recreate a document but citations have not changed.

I'm using emacs 30 (current master) and the available zotxt mode. When I insert a reference, I get access to selecting it, but then I get a

[[zotero://select/items/nil]]

thing imported and a

[error] request--callback: peculiar error: 400

error, and eventually this one too:

[error] request-default-error-callback: http://127.0.0.1:23119/zotxt/select?key=nil error

It looks like the protocol is not working on Zotero's side, but I'm not sure what to do.

I run into this error when invoking pandoc-zotxt.

Hello,
Thank you very much for developing this nice extension!
I use the last version of Zotero with the last version of OSX.
I meet a problem with BetterbibteX and Zotxt.

I use Hook for connecting different information together and it has now a module for linking with Zotero items, that is very useful for me (I am a researcher). This connection uses zotxt that I have already installed.

It reads the information about the selected item in Zotero through the following curl command:
"curl -s -d selected=t&format=json -G http://127.0.0.1:23119/zotxt/items"
and then builds a zotero:// link using the id it reads from this record

When Better BibTeX is activated, I get as the id the citekey of the article, like
zotero://select/library/items/harmsen2015
and the the zotero link cannot point to the specific article when I click it.

If I deactivate BBTX, the correct id (the same as the name of the subfolder in the Zotero storage folder) is obtained and the link points to the specific file:
zotero://select/library/items/DCEXAPF4

BBTX developer suggested me to contact you: "I don't generate or modify this url, that's zotxt's work. Zotxt likely detects the presence of BBT and reacts to that, but I don't know how it reacts to BBT and whether it's configurable; you'll have to ask the Zotxt developer."

I have not been able to find any option for Zotxt. Do you think that we could solve this problem?

Thank you for your attention.
Very cordially,

Murat
