znotifier - Python script to send automated emails with recent additions to a Zotero group library.

Requirements

• pyzotero
• API key with read-only access to the Zotero group library.
• cron

Setup

• Install pyzotero: pip install pyzotero.
• Modify the path to settings.ini in znotify.py (use absolute paths when running cronjobs).
• Generate a API key for the Zotero group library through the Zotero.com web interface.
• Modify settings.ini itself: SMTP-settings, Zotero credentials, generation-interval in days (this needs to be the same interval as in the cronjob).
• Modify the cronjob example. Use absolute paths, and if you use virtualenv, remember to add the correct Python interpreter.
• Add the cronjob to crontab using crontab cronjob.

Change the basic HTML template in znotify.py to match your requirements.
