from datetime import datetime

token = "My Coscine API token"
client = coscine.ApiClient(token)
project = client.project("My Project")
resource = project.resource("My Resource")
form = resource.metadata_form()
form["Author"] = "Dr. Akula"
form["Created"] = datetime.now()
form["DAP"] = 3.12
resource.upload("file.csv", "C:/research/file.csv", form)
