What problem does it solve?

Researchers and students often manage large Zotero libraries but perform repetitive, error-prone reference operations manually. This skill provides a programmatic interface to read, create, update, and delete items, collections, tags, and attachments via the Zotero Web API v3 using Pyzotero.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interact with Zotero API v3 using Pyzotero to manage libraries (items, collections, tags, attachments) programmatically.
  • Export citations, search library contents, and automate workflows that integrate with Zotero.
  • Use-case: automatically synchronize a local bibliography with a Zotero group library for a manuscript or grant application.

Quick Start

Install Pyzotero, initialize a Zotero instance with your library, and fetch the first 10 items.
