Zenodo API communication error creating draft: FORBIDDEN

[aianta]

Trying to use the CLI tool, but getting the following message.

Zenodo API communication error creating draft: FORBIDDEN, {"message":"Invalid action","status":403}

I have a draft deposit created, and the generated a personal access token with all 3 possible permissions (deposit:actions, deposit:write, user:email) for the tool to use.

npx --package @iomeg/zenodo-upload zenodo_upload 5767867 activity-mining.db 0.0.2 <token>

Deposition 5767867 is a draft, with no file and the version currently set to 0.0.1.

Just ran it successfully in the Zenodo sandbox with

npx --package @iomeg/zenodo-upload zenodo_upload --sandbox  807974 CITATION.cff v0.1.1 <token with deposit:actions, deposit:write scopes>

And it created a new record at https://sandbox.zenodo.org/record/1010558 .

Could you try with a token with deposit:actions, deposit:write scopes and without user:email scope`?

Also I am soon migrating to https://github.com/zenodraft/zenodraft , which does what this library can do and more.

Below a few notes on how you could do this with zenodraft (also uses cffconvert to generate the metadata from a CITATION.cff file). zenodraft requires an access token for the api you're using (the example uses Zenodo Sandbox, so it uses a token from a local file I had that stores the token in environment variable ZENODO_SANDBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN)

# check a few versions
$ node --version
v14.17.4
$ npm --version
6.14.14

# install the zenodraft tool from npm
$ npm install -g zenodraft

# enable bash autocomplete (optional steps)
$ TMPFILE=$(mktemp)
$ zenodraft-autocomplete > $TMPFILE
$ source $TMPFILE

# add the access token to the terminal as an environment variable
$ source ~/tokens/sandbox.zenodo.org 

# get a local copy of an arbitrary example zip file
$ wget https://sandbox.zenodo.org/record/1010558/files/sverhoeven/justatest-v0.1.0.zip

# create a new draft deposition in a new collection on zenodo sanbox
$ zenodraft --sandbox deposition create in-new-collection 
1011183

# add the zip file to the deposition 1011183
$ zenodraft --sandbox file add 1011183 justatest-v0.1.0.zip 

# get an arbitrary metadata file 
$ wget https://sandbox.zenodo.org/record/1010558/files/CITATION.cff

# zenodraft doesnt understand CITATION.cff but you can use a tool called cffconvert to 
# generate zenodo json metadata from CITATION.cff. So download cffconvert from PyPI:
$ python3 -m pip install --user cffconvert

# generate a metadata file called .zenodo.json from CITATION.cff
$ cffconvert -f zenodo > .zenodo.json

# update metadata of the draft deposition
$ zenodraft --sandbox metadata update 1011183 .zenodo.json 

# inspect the draft deposition on zenodo sandbox, if everything looks good, either click
# "Publish" on Zenodo Sandbox, or 

# publish the deposition on Zenodo Sandbox
$ zenodraft --sandbox deposition publish 1011183

The resulting record on Zenodo Sandbox is here https://sandbox.zenodo.org/record/1011183
