Access to Zotero key

marinatmendes · 2025-03-12T12:04:01+00:00

Hey

I am building a database with information from multiple items and would like to link the information captured with the corresponding item in Zotero, i.e. the source. Is there a way to know this key in the desktop app without downloading the CSV file?

(sorry if this is a repeated topic, I couldn't find anything in the forums)

Thanks for your support
Marina

I think Zutilo (which is now Zotero 7 compatible) lets you copy a version of that (the Zotero item URI). Alternatively https://zoteromusings.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/zotero-item-uris-from-client/ still works.

Thanks @adamsmith. I'll digest your suggestions and come back if needed.

I must say Zotilo will make my life considerably easier.
Thanks!
