Python wrapper for Zenodo REST API for working with Zenodo depositions and files.

pip install pynodo

Zenodo access token with write scope is necessary to access depositions and files. Separate token is neccessary for zenodo sandbox environment. Sandbox can be switched by setting sandbox=True when initiating pynodo instance.

• Depositions can be accessed using pynodo.Depositions class.

• Files in a deposition can be accessed using pynodo.DepositionFiles class.

• Depositions.create and DepositionFiles.files return namedtuple and list of namedtuples, respectively. Other functions return either json response or status code (delete).

• Actions (e.g. publish, new version, edit) are not implemented.

pynodo allows listing, creating, retrieving, updating and deleting of depostions.

• Create zenodo (sandbox) instance

import pynodo
import os

zen = pynodo.Depositions(access_token=os.environ["ZENODO_SANDBOX_PAT"], sandbox=True)

• List user depositions

depos = zen.list(params={"size": 50})

• Create a new deposition with some metadata

data = {
    "metadata": {
        "title": "My first upload",
        "upload_type": "poster",
        "description": "This is my first upload",
        "creators": [{"name": "Päll, Taavi", "affiliation": "UT"}],
    }
}
new_depo = zen.create(data=data)

• Retrieve deposition info

ret_depo = zen.retrieve(deposition=new_depo.id)

• Update deposition metadata

updates = {
    "metadata": {
        "title": "Modified upload",
        "upload_type": "dataset",
        "description": "This is updated upload",
        "creators": [
            {"name": "Päll, Taavi", "affiliation": "UT"},
            {"name": "Sus, Scrofa", "affiliation": "Mets"},
        ],
    }
}
updated_depo = zen.update(deposition=new_depo.id, data=updates)

• Delete deposition (status code 204 shows success)

zen.delete(new_depo.id)

pynodo allows listing, uploading, downloading and deleting of files in a deposition.

• Create zenodo (sandbox) instance

import pynodo
import os
zen = pynodo.Depositions(access_token=os.environ["ZENODO_SANDBOX_PAT"], sandbox=True)

• Create new deposition

new_depo = zen.create()

• Retrive deposition

ret_depo = zen.retrieve(deposition=new_depo.id)

• Create new instance for listing files

zen_files = pynodo.DepositionFiles(
    deposition=new_depo.id,
    access_token=os.environ["ZENODO_SANDBOX_PAT"],
    sandbox=True,
)

• Upload file (second argument with new file name is optional)

zen_files.upload("tests/upload.txt", "uploaded_file.txt")

• List files in deposition

files = zen_files.files

• Download file from deposition (second argument with download folder is optional)

zen_files.download("uploaded_file.txt", "tmp")

• Delete file (status code 204 shows success)

zen_files.delete("uploaded_file.txt")
