Pyzotero

使用 pyzotero Python 客户端与 Zotero 参考文献管理库交互。通过 Zotero Web API v3 检索、创建、更新和删除条目、集合、标签及附件。

Pyzotero 是什么?

Pyzotero 是一个 Python 封装库,用于访问 Zotero Web API v3,使开发者能够以编程方式管理 Zotero 文献库。该技能支持所有核心操作:读取和创建条目与集合、更新参考文献、上传附件、管理标签以及导出引用(如 BibTeX 或 CSL-JSON)。它基于 `Zotero` 类实例,绑定到单个用户或群组库,并返回包含 `data` 字段的字典。主要功能包括分页处理(`everything()` 方法)、搜索过滤、本地模式(无需 API 密钥的只读访问)以及本地 Zotero 7 的 CLI 和 MCP 服务器——后者支持全文 PDF 搜索,适合 LLM 客户端。该技能在 Cursor、Claude Code 等 AI 代理平台上运行,通过环境变量存储凭证,并提供丰富的参考文件指导高级操作。对于需要自动化研究工作流程的开发者,这是一个高效的工具,大幅简化了与 Zotero 库的程序化交互。

Pyzotero 是做什么的?

Pyzotero 是 Zotero API v3 的 Python 封装库。用它可以编程式管理 Zotero 文献库:读取条目和集合、创建和更新参考文献、上传附件、管理标签以及导出引用。

当前上游版本: pyzotero 1.13.0 (PyPI, 2026年5月)。文档:pyzotero.readthedocs.io。

认证设置

必需的凭据——从 https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys 获取:

将凭据存储在环境变量或 .env 文件中:

ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID=your_user_id
ZOTERO_API_KEY=your_api_key
ZOTERO_LIBRARY_TYPE=user  # 或 "group"

完整设置细节请参阅 references/authentication.md。

安装

uv add pyzotero              # Web API 客户端
uv add "pyzotero[cli]"       # + 本地 CLI (Zotero 7)
uv add "pyzotero[mcp]"       # + 面向 LLM 客户端的 MCP 服务器 (Zotero 7)

快速入门

import os
from pyzotero import Zotero

zot = Zotero(
    library_id=os.environ['ZOTERO_LIBRARY_ID'],
    library_type=os.environ.get('ZOTERO_LIBRARY_TYPE', 'user'),
    api_key=os.environ['ZOTERO_API_KEY'],
)

# 检索顶级条目(默认返回 100 条)
items = zot.top(limit=10)
for item in items:
    print(item['data']['title'], item['data']['itemType'])

# 按关键字搜索
results = zot.items(q='machine learning', limit=20)

# 检索所有条目(使用 everything() 获取完整结果)
all_items = zot.everything(zot.items())

核心概念

  • Zotero 实例绑定到单个库(用户或群组)。所有方法都对该库进行操作。
  • 条目数据位于 item['data'] 中。访问字段如 item['data']['title']、item['data']['creators']。
  • Pyzotero 默认返回 100 个条目(API 默认值为 25)。使用 zot.everything(zot.items()) 获取所有条目。
  • 写入方法成功时返回 True,否则抛出 ZoteroError。

常见模式

获取并修改条目

item = zot.item('ITEMKEY')
item['data']['title'] = 'New Title'
zot.update_item(item)

从模板创建条目

template = zot.item_template('journalArticle')
template['title'] = 'My Paper'
template['creators'][0] = {'creatorType': 'author', 'firstName': 'Jane', 'lastName': 'Doe'}
zot.create_items([template])

导出为 BibTeX

zot.add_parameters(format='bibtex')
bibtex = zot.top(limit=50)
# bibtex 是一个 bibtexparser BibDatabase 对象
print(bibtex.entries)

本地模式(只读,无需 API 密钥)

zot = Zotero(library_id='123456', library_type='user', local=True)
items = zot.items()

本地 Zotero 7(CLI 或 MCP,无需 API 密钥)

对于搜索本地运行的 Zotero 桌面应用(包括全文 PDF 搜索),请使用 CLI 或 MCP 服务器代替 Web API。两者都需要启用本地 API 访问的 Zotero 7。详见 references/cli.md 和 references/mcp.md。

Best for cross-database analysis, ID mapping across services. For quick single-database lookups use gget; for sequence/file manipulation use biopython.

bulk-rnaseq

End-to-end bulk RNA-seq orchestrator — takes raw FASTQ reads through QC and trimming (FastQC, fastp/Trim Galore), alignment and quantification (STAR, Salmon, featureCounts), assembles a gene-level counts matrix, then hands off to differential expression (pydeseq2), pathway/GSEA enrichment (pathway-enrichment), and publication figures (scientific-visualization). Use whenever the user has bulk RNA-seq reads or quant output and wants a complete, reproducible differential-expression workflow — e.g.

cellxgene-census

Query the CZ CELLxGENE Census programmatically for versioned public single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data. Use when you need population-scale cell metadata, gene expression slices, Census summary counts, source H5AD URIs/downloads, embeddings, spatial Census data, or reference atlas comparisons across organisms, tissues, diseases, assays, and cell types. For analyzing your own local single-cell data use scanpy, anndata, or scvi-tools.

cirq

Google quantum computing framework. Use when targeting Google Quantum AI hardware, designing noise-aware circuits, or running quantum characterization experiments. Best for Google hardware, noise modeling, and low-level circuit design. For IBM hardware use qiskit; for quantum ML with autodiff use pennylane; for physics simulations use qutip.
