Zenodo

[00sapo]

Some conferences in my field are used to publish papers to zenodo. Therefore, I would like to implement a lookup for zenodo. I've given a look at the code, and it should be similar to the DBLP API class, but I cannot completely get what are the supposed input and output types of each method.

Documentation for the Zenodo API is here: https://developers.zenodo.org/#list36

Yes it's non obvious because the inheritance structure is quite large. It inherits from JSON_AT_Lookup will perform queries using title (and author, if present) info, and expect a JSON response. If you copy the DBLP class you should only have to change the following:

• override name to a unique name, path and domain to the API's path and domain
• override get_params to return the query parameters (so {'q': my_search_string, 'token':ACCESS_TOKEN}). You can construct a search string using self.author: str | None (space separated list of author last names) and self.title: str
• override get_results to transform the query response (bytes) into a list of entries data. Typically this is convert to JSON (e.g. using SafeJSON.from_bytes), navigate to where the list of matches is, and returning an iterator to that list (SafeJSON.iter_list).
• override get_value to parse your JSON into a BibtexEntry.
  • The SafeJSON class I use is simply a class that returns None instead of failing if keys/indexes/whatever are invalid
  • BibtexEntry just has all standard bibtex field as attributes, with some hidden normalization logic. Most fields are string options. The author field is a list of a custom Author class wich separates last and first names.
• override FieldNames to the set of field names you define in get_value. This allows to skip queries for entries where all those fields are defined, since there is no data to add
• Add your new class to the list in API/__init__.py

Let me know if you have more specific questions

Since I haven't heard anymore from you I'll assume you figured it out. If not feel free to send me any further questions you might have!

I haven't actually been working on this. I'll come back on it when I will need it again...
