fairscape-publish

Pushes a finished RO-Crate and all its local files to Dataverse, Zenodo or Figshare, or mints a DOI for it on DataCite.

It is the publish step of FAIRSCAPE. To host crates on your own server instead, use fairscape_lite.

Install

pip install git+https://github.com/fairscape/fairscape_publish

Example

# Is the crate ready? Nothing is sent over the network.
fairscape-publish check ./my-crate

# Rehearse: print every request, send nothing
fairscape-publish zenodo ./my-crate --token $ZENODO_TOKEN --sandbox --dry-run

# Create the draft
fairscape-publish zenodo ./my-crate --token $ZENODO_TOKEN --sandbox

# After you've reviewed the draft, publish it and write the DOI back into the crate
fairscape-publish zenodo ./my-crate --token $ZENODO_TOKEN --sandbox --resume --publish --write-back

Commands

Command	What it does
`check CRATE`	Checks whether the crate is ready for each target, without using the network.
`dataverse CRATE`	Creates a Dataverse dataset and uploads the files, keeping the folder structure.
`zenodo CRATE`	Creates a Zenodo deposit and uploads the files.
`figshare CRATE`	Creates a Figshare article and uploads the files.
`datacite CRATE`	Mints a DOI from the crate metadata. Uploads no files.
`status CRATE`	Shows what has already been deposited from this crate.

Tokens can come from the environment: DATAVERSE_API_TOKEN, ZENODO_TOKEN, FIGSHARE_TOKEN, DATACITE_USERNAME / DATACITE_PASSWORD.

Details

Safe by default. Deposits stay drafts until you pass --publish. --dry-run sends nothing, and you’re asked to confirm before the first upload.
Remote files are skipped. contentUrls that point to https://, ftp:// or s3:// are listed but never downloaded.
Resumable. Each run writes .fairscape-publish.json beside the crate. --resume picks up the same draft and skips files that are already uploaded.
File layout. --layout zip|preserve|flat sets how the crate’s folders appear in the repository. The default is zip for Zenodo and Figshare and preserve for Dataverse.

Per-target requirements, sandboxes and the metadata mapping: docs/DETAILS.md and PUBLISH_MAPPING.md.
