SciBib

A Python package to collect scientific bibliographical data.

Installation

This package can be installed with pip.

$ pip install scibib

Furthermore, you will need to edit a configuration file to pass your orcid_token. This can be done interactively running

python -m scibib.data_query

You will be prompted to give your Orcid /read-public API token:

Please provide the value for orcid_token in your config file.
▯

If you prefer to edit the file directly, cancel with Ctrl+C. The message in an ImportError will tell you which file to edit e.g.

[...]
ImportError: Please edit your module configuration file /home/gael/.config/scibib/scibib_config.py to define the orcid_token variable.This token is needed to use orcid's /read-public API.
