# Zotero QA

Fan Li ([@FanLi_RnD](https://twitter.com/FanLi_RnD)) - https://apex974.com/articles/literature-reviews-with-paper-qa-and-zotero

This tool allows you to ask questions based on your Zotero library. It was built upon [Paper QA](https://github.com/whitead/paper-qa), [LangChain AI](https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain) and [pyZotero](https://github.com/urschrei/pyzotero).

You are required to provide your own [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/overview). 

You also need a Zotero API key and your user ID (or shared group ID):

- To create Zotero API key, visit https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys/new
- To access your own library, select "User".
- To access a shared group, select "Group".
- Personal User ID can be found at https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys.
- Group ID is part of the group URL (e.g. 4952526).
