Perform "add item by identifier" action through API

Hello everyone,

I have the habit to add references in Zotero through the "Add Item by Identifier" (the Magic Wand") by giving the DOI.

I want to automate severals actions through the API (I use pyzotero), and this action is one of them. But I can't find any way to do it.

Is it even possible to perform this action through the API ? If Yes, How ? If Not, Why ?

Best regards

    This isn't currently possible, but it's something we might support in the future.

    In the meantime, you can run translation-server yourself and pass the returned data to the API.
