zotero-cli attachment --key ABC

[bjohas]

Is it possible to retrieve attachments via zotero-cli?

The task is to implement a way of retrieving attachments, e.g.

zotero-cli attachment --key ABC

Also see #63

The script already has this, but I cannot get it to work.
For this item zotero://select/groups/2317526/items/XAXNF68P, I run

zotero-cli item --key XAXNF68P 
zotero-cli item --key XAXNF68P --children

which gives me B4ARQZ7S as child.

However, neither of these work:

zotero-cli attachment --key XAXNF68P --save abc.pdf
zotero-cli attachment --key B4ARQZ7S --save abc.pdf

There are these issues:

• The above should work :)
• It would be good if both worked (Help says: "Retrieve/save attachments for the item specified with key', which is ambiguous as to whether it's the item or attachment)
• It's awkward to have to specify the filename.
  -- Where the key is an attachment, maybe save should become --saveas, but by default the existing filenames are used?
  -- Where the key is an item, all attachments should be saved.

How do you get the attachment key?

I'm not sure what you mean? I got the attachment key like this:

zotero-cli item --key XAXNF68P --children

The children then show keys, which I used. Am I misunderstanding?
