Turn a zotero collection into a bibtex file for archival This code basically just downloads a bibliography using the [Zotero API](https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/web_api/v3/basics), It asks Zotero politely whether the bibliography has changed since the last run, to keep things lightweight unless things have changed. # requirements * python 3.7.x * gnu make * zotero API key (create one at https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys) # install + configure You probably should use a virtualenv, then: pip install -r requirements.txt Edit `.env` directly or create `.env.local` to override the settings. In particular, you will need to override the zotero api key, the zotero search parameters, and the output paths. If you're querying a group, you can find its id by visiting its page, then inspecting the URL for its RSS feed. # run make Probably, you'll want to run `make` in a cron job to keep the output up to date. If you need to change the settings and re-run: make clean make
