dival.util.zenodo_download.download_zenodo_record(record_id, base_path='', md5sum_check=True, auto_yes=False)[source]

Download a zenodo record. Unfortunately, downloads cannot be resumed, so this method is only recommended for stable internet connections.

Parameters:

  • record_id (str) – Record id.

  • base_path (str, optional) – Path to store the downloaded files in. Default is the current folder.

  • auto_yes (bool, optional) – Whether to answer user input questions with “y” by default. User input questions are: If md5sum_check=True, in case of a checksum mismatch: whether to retry downloading. If md5sum_check=False, in case of an existing file of correct size: whether to re-download. Default: False

Returns:

success – If md5sum_check=True, whether all sums matched. Otherwise the returned value is always True.
