OmniAuth Zotero

This is the unofficial OmniAuth strategy for authenticating to Zotero. To use it, you'll need to sign up for an OAuth Client Key and Secret on the Zotero Applications Page.

You can then use the API key provided by this strategy to authenticate against and use the Zotero Server API.

Heavily inspired by Logan Lowell's OmniAuth-Mendeley gem.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-zotero'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install omniauth-zotero

Usage

First, use the OmniAuth Zotero middleware:

# For Rack apps, in your config.ru
use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :zotero, ENV['ZOTERO_KEY'], ENV['ZOTERO_SECRET']
end

# For Rails apps, in config/initializers/omniauth.rb
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :zotero, ENV['ZOTERO_KEY'], ENV['ZOTERO_SECRET']
end

Then, read the OmniAuth documentation on Integrating OmniAuth Into Your Application.

Example

In the example/ directory, run the provided Rack application for a demo:

$ cd example/
$ bundle
$ ZOTERO_KEY=abc123 ZOTERO_SECRET=def456 rackup

Then visit localhost:9292 to try it out.
