how do I retrieve the attachments using zotero api?

[sudheshna iyer]

Hello team,

I need to get all the files from Zotero, including attachments and save them on to my local drive. I use REST services from java.

My main concern is getting the attachments and notes. How do I get all of the items (along with attachments and notes) in one shot?

Which API should I use?

Thank you.

What I mean is, how do I get the byte stream of attachments and tags using the zotero api? Which api supports this?

There are rel="enclosure" links in the Atom entries.

Thanks for your response. I got this by going to :

https://api.zotero.org/users/<uid>/items/<zapi:key>/file?key=<authtoken>

But I am not able to open the pdf's that I downloaded ... All are empty! Not sure what the problem is. Do any of you have any clue?

If by empty you mean 0 bytes, then something is wrong with the query.  Otherwise, I believe they are zipped. Have you tried unzipping them?

(Single files such as PDFs aren't zipped — only HTML snapshots (and it should be clear from the filename).)

If they're actually empty, I'd guess that your HTTP library just isn't following the 302 redirect to the actual file. But you say in your other post that there's a non-zero file size, so I'm not sure what you mean by "empty" here.
