What are the Zenodo token and deposition ID, and how do you get them?

Zenodo Token File

CartLoader uses the Zenodo API for uploads. To authenticate, Zenodo requires an access token.

To obtain a token:

  1. Log in to Zenodo.
  2. Open Applications.
  3. Click "New Token" and select scopes such as deposit:write and deposit:actions.
  4. Copy the generated token.
  5. Save it in a plain text file and pass that file path to --zenodo-token.

Zenodo Deposition ID

A deposition ID is the numeric identifier of a Zenodo deposition (dataset record).
If you already created one, find it in the URL, for example:

1
2
3
https://zenodo.org/deposit/1234567
                            ^^^^^^^
                           deposition ID
