Mendeley API Python Example

This is a simple example of an application that consumes the Mendeley API, using the Python SDK.

For more information on the API, see the developer portal.

About the application

The application is a website that allows you to see the documents in your Mendeley library, together with their annotations. It also allows you to look up a document by DOI.

It's built with Flask and Jinja2.

  1. Install Python and Pip.

  2. Register your client at the developer portal. Use http://localhost:5000/oauth as your Redirect URI. This will give you a client ID and secret.

  4. Run the following command to install dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
