Zotero CLI

Introduction

This Tinyscript tool aims to manipulate Zotero references, relying on pyzotero, applying simple filtering if needed, in order to:

  • Count items
  • List field values (e.g. for spotting bad values)
  • Show items in the terminal, given a set of fields
  • Export items to an Excel file, given a set of fields
  • Mark items as read/unread
  • Get the most relevant items (based on a PageRank-like algorithm)

Quick example:

$ zotero-cli list itemType

    Type
