Zotero Bibliography Export

scripts/zotero_dump.sh is a defensive Bash utility that exports items from your local Zotero library (saved‑search CV) into CSL JSON (.json) files. The script:

• Queries the Zotero local API for each CV‑related tag (cv‑talk, cv‑proceedings, cv‑journal, cv‑preprint, cv‑poster).
• Writes the results to assets/bib/ with clear filenames (cv_talks.json, cv_proceedings.json, …).
• Logs progress and errors to stderr with timestamps.
• Aborts on any failure (missing tools, HTTP error, etc.) for safe CI integration.

Usage

# Make the script executable (once) and run it
chmod +x scripts/zotero_dump.sh
./scripts/zotero_dump.sh

Or simply invoke via Bash:

bash scripts/zotero_dump.sh

Configuration (environment variables)

Variable	Default	Description
ZOTERO_API	http://localhost:23119/api	Base URL of the Zotero local API.
ZOTERO_USER	0	User ID for the local API (always 0).
ZOTERO_SEARCH	Z72JGWEB	Saved‑search key that groups the CV items.
BIBDIR	assets/bib	Directory where the .json files will be written.

You can override any of these variables on the command line, e.g.:

ZOTERO_SEARCH=MYSEARCH ./scripts/zotero_dump.sh

Requirements

• Bash (≥ 4) with set -euo pipefail support.
• curl (used with -f -S -L).
• Write permission to the BIBDIR directory.

The script is safe to run in CI pipelines; it will fail fast and clearly report any problem.
