How to Work with Records#

The present section provide a list of guidelines that help users interact with the _Records objects in zenopy.

For almost all of the tutorials in this section, you will need to start from the following two steps:

  1. Create a zenopy client object (see here for details)

  2. Construct a _Records object

The first step begins with importing the zenopy package,

>>> import zenopy

This enables you to call the Zenodo() constructor 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_records() function to construct an instance of the _Records class.

>>> rec_obj = cli.init_records()
>>> rec_obj
<zenopy.records._Records at 0x7f9f01c50fa0>

The rec_obj object allows you to retrieve or search through all published open access records on Zenodo and list those matching your (elastic) search query statement.
