Zenodo Automation — One-Command DOI Registration Pipeline

Project: zenodo-automation Thesis: Zenodo DOI registration should be a single command, not a browser workflow. This project provides a reusable CLI tool that creates depositions, uploads files, sets metadata, and publishes — all via the Zenodo REST API.

Status: Scaffolding — Phase 0

One-Line Summary

Autonomous Zenodo DOI registration pipeline — sandbox-tested, production-ready when API recovers.

Key Deliverables

1. zenodo_publish.py — CLI tool for creating and publishing Zenodo depositions
2. Test plan — Verified against sandbox (deposit 161914 created)
3. Template — Registered as ZENODO-PUBLISH prompt template

Usage

python zenodo_publish.py --token $(cat ~/.zenodo_token) --title "Paper" --author "Author" --file "paper.md"

Constraints

• Zero dependencies beyond Python stdlib
• Works with both sandbox and production Zenodo
• Token stored persistently at %USERPROFILE%\.zenodo_token
