from pyzotero import zotero
zot = zotero.Zotero(library_id, library_type, api_key)
items = zot.top(limit=5)
# we've retrieved the latest five top-level items in our library
# we can print each item's item type and ID
for item in items:
print('Item Type: %s | Key: %s') % (item['itemType'], item['key'])Pyzotero is a Python wrapper for the Zotero read and write APIs. You'll require a library ID and access key, which can be set up here.
