Automate LabArchives ELN notebook backups by using the labarchives-py client to programmatically list notebooks and perform batch operations with or without attachments. Configure your credentials in config.yaml to authenticate API requests and reduce manual data entry.

Yes, you can use Python to create entries and upload attachments in LabArchives by leveraging the labarchives-py client. The Skill executes notebook and entry operations programmatically, capturing metadata while enabling automated batch uploads via the configured API endpoints.

LabArchives API integration requires a config.yaml file containing your api_url, access_key_id, access_password, user_email, and user_external_password. You must execute setup_config.py to establish regional API endpoints and securely store these institutional credentials before authentication.

LabArchives API automation supports enabling third-party integrations with Protocols.io, Jupyter, and REDCap. It also generates institutional reports for audit trails, allowing research groups to connect external platforms and streamline their automated notebook management workflows.

The best way to manage multiple LabArchives notebooks programmatically is using the labarchives-py client for batch operations. This Skill lists notebooks, automates backups, and handles attachments, increasing reproducibility for research groups needing automated notebook management and third-party integrations.
