SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyyaml, requests, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual burden of interacting with LabArchives by enabling programmatic control over notebooks, entries, attachments, and reporting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authenticate and configure API access: Set up regional endpoints and credentials for Enterprise LabArchives REST API usage, including user authentication via external applications passwords.
  • Perform notebook lifecycle operations: List accessible notebooks, back up notebooks (optionally as metadata-only JSON/XML or full 7z with attachments), and retrieve notebook identifiers and settings when needed.
  • Create and enrich notebook content: Create entries with HTML content, add comments, create entry parts/components, and upload attachments such as PDFs, images, and scientific data files.
  • Generate site reports and analytics (Enterprise): Produce institutional usage and notebook/compliance-style exports for auditing and operational visibility.
  • Integrate with common research tools: Support automation patterns for integrations with Protocols.io, Jupyter (HTML export), REDCap, and other supported ecosystems via export-then-upload workflows.

Quick Start

Ask the Skill to back up a specific LabArchives notebook by first creating your config.yaml, then running the provided notebook backup script with your user UID and notebook ID.
