🏭 Angular interface for communicating with a zotero account (read-only)

angularzotero (WIP)

A set of two angular modules (ZoteroQueryMaker, ZoteroQueryHandler) that handle API calls to Zotero in order to retrieve library's content.

ZoteroQueryMaker manages a query object used to specify API call parameters and options. ZoteroQueryHandler handles the API calls and their responses for controller.

Howto

Get a Zotero API key

1. create a zotero account if you haven't one
2. go to https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys > create new private key > copy the retrieved key

Install the application

1. go to your terminal and type "git clone https://github.com/robindemourat/angularzotero.git" or click on "Download Zip" on right of this screen
2. in the terminal, cd to the retrieved repository and hit "cd app && bower install" (bower needed)
3. In the retrieve repository, go to app/scripts/controllers/main.js and, at line 14, replace 'Your API key here' with your private API key
4. from terminal, hit "python -m SimpleHTTPServer"
5. good to go !

Warning : this method exposes your API key on the front-end side. This means that one could access your library content with it, and this means that you shouldn't allow write access in your API key settings with this method.
