UBC Library DOI Script

This script submits Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and their associated metadata to DataCite.

Getting Started

1. Copy config/config.ini.example to config/config.ini and fill out the environment variables.
2. In update_minted_public.py, implement your own logic to construct the URL that the submitted DOI should resolve to. Currently, the script uses the base_resolve_url variable to construct this URL.

Usage

python3 update_minted_public.py
