how to programatically interface with zotero
i am looking forward to connect to Zotero client using my Text editor. It would be nice if someone can give me a pointer how to get started.
I found this site explaining the [http interface](https://github.com/zotero/zotero-connectors) but it also seems there are some 3rd party projects available. Is there a Python library for Zotero? I am planning to write a client in Python.
Also, apart from saving items are we able to request the data from items? I couldn't find respective methods for these actions. I am mainly interested in fetching a list of items for autocompletion.

WRT python, you can use pyzotero (https://pypi.org/project/Pyzotero/) to talk to the public API for synced data. For direct access there's something like pyzottk (https://github.com/sbrisard/pyzottk), but that will only work when Zotero is not running, as Zotero locks the DB while it runs.
