get_recent_items
Retrieve recently added items from a Zotero library, sorted by date added. Specify the number of items to return (up to 25) and receive metadata including title, creators, date, abstract, and attachment count.
Instructions
Get recently added items from the Zotero library, sorted by date added.
Args:
limit: Requested items to return (default: 10, capped at 25).
limit=0 returns an empty result set, and the response includes
requested_limit, applied_limit, limit_cap, and
limit_capped so callers can detect clamping.
Returns:
JSON with items, total, returned_count, and limit metadata
(requested_limit, applied_limit, limit_cap, limit_capped).
total reports the available top-level non-skipped item count and
returned_count reports how many items were actually included under
items. Each item includes key, title, creators, date,
date_added, truncated abstract (500 chars), attachment_count,
collections as {key, name} pairs, and other summary fields.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Requested items to return. Values below 0 are treated as 0, values above 25 are clamped to 25, and the response reports `requested_limit`, `applied_limit`, `limit_cap`, and `limit_capped`. The response also reports `total` for the available top-level non-skipped items and `returned_count` for the number actually included under `items`. |
