This is a command-line tool for making large uploads to Zenodo. It requires a Zenodo API access token and uses the Restful API.
This tool can be installed using PyPi, which will also install the dependencies of requests and markdown2.
pip install bigzenodo
It is a command-line tool that takes in a JSON file (described below) that lists the information for the submission, and the API token for the Zenodo account (in a separate file). It also takes two flags, whether to use the Zenodo sandbox and whether to complete the submission.
usage: Tool to upload large files to Zenodo using the Zenodo RESTFUL API

The tool takes in a JSON file with the fields below. existing_zenodo_id is optional and denotes the identifier for an existing Zenodo submission which this submission will update.
{
"file_list": [
"colour_of_magic.tsv",
"light_fantastic.tsv",
],
"title": "The Troubles of Luggage",
"author": "Rincewind",
"author_affiliation": "Unseen University",
"description_file": "output_description.md",
"existing_zenodo_id": "1156241"
}
The description_file should be a file that contains text to be shown on the Zenodo page. If it is a Markdown file (and the filename ends with '.md'), it will be rendered appropriately.
