How to Work with Deposition Files#

This section lays out a list of brief interconnected recipes that allow users to focus on a specific tasks pertinent to the _DepositionFiles objects in zenopy.

All tutorials in this section are based upon the following two steps:

Creating a zenopy client object (see here for details)
Constructing a _DepositionFiles object

The first step begins with importing the zenopy package,

>>> import zenopy

which allows you to call the Zenodo() constructor in order to get a handle to the client object

>>> cli = zenopy.Zenodo()
WARNING: The config file (~/.zenodorc) is found.

A warning will notify you that the zenopy client is now connected to your Zenodo account.

Next, you can now call the client object’s init_deposition_file() function to construct an instance of the _DepositionFiles class.

>>> depo_file_obj = cli.init_deposition_file()

The depo_file_obj object allows you to create, update, list, delete etc. the files in the depositions on your Zenodo account as you will see in more details in the guidelines list.
