Pyzotero attachment functions fail on group library

[Pavan Atri]

Hello,

I am trying to create a HTML file attachment in my group library, using the
*attachment_simple* and *attachment_both* functions in the Pyzotero wrapper
for Zotero API. *It works fine on the user library*(my personal library)
but fails when I use it on a group library, giving a *UserNotAuthorised *response.
I have the Admin permission in the group library. Below is the code and the
error response:
The below code fetches HTML content from an XML file and creates a File
object out of it, which is the file attachment to be created
from pyzotero import zotero
import xml.etree.ElementTree as exml
import codecs



















*def addHTMLAtchmnt(itemId):#Code to locate XML file from where HTML
content is to be fetched item = zot.item(itemId) extra
=str(item[0][u'extra']) filename = extra[extra.rfind(".")+1:] +
"-atom.xml" doc = exml.parse(fileloc + filename) root =
doc.getroot() #FetchHTML content from the XML htmltext =
root.find('{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}content').text if htmltext !=
None: htmlfile =
codecs.open('htmlattchmnt.html','w',encoding='utf-8')
htmlfile.write(htmltext) htmlfile.close()
zot.attachment_simple(['htmlattchmnt.html'], itemId) print
'Attachment created'zot = zotero.Zotero(<groupId>, 'group',
<apiKey>)fileloc = "D:\\GitHub\\awol-backup\\"#Add HTML attachment to the
Parent record with ID: *
*2GMSK2MJaddHTMLAtchmnt('2GMSK2MJ')*

*Error Response:*

In the Error response I see that the POST URL has* /users/* which I
actually think should be* /groups/* since am trying to create it in a group.
Please let me know if I've missed out on anything.

Thank you!

Hi Pavan and other folks watching this thread:

I've just had a look at this (sorry I couldn't help sooner). From what I can see, "/users/" seems to be hardwired into the creation of the POST url for attachments in pyzotero:

https://github.com/urschrei/pyzotero/blob/master/pyzotero/zotero.py#L673

I think we'll need to open an issue there and see if we can contribute a code fix.

All:

In case anyone else on the list is interested or stumbles across this thread later, I offer the following pointer. We have opened a ticket for this issue on the pyzotero tracker: https://github.com/urschrei/pyzotero/issues/33 . We'll conduct all further discussion there, so that should close out this thread.

Best,
Tom
