Get a Zotero item
zotero_get_itemRead-only
Retrieve a full Zotero item record by its key, including all bibliographic data, creators, tags, and optional child notes or formatted bibliography and citations.
Instructions
Fetch one item by its key, returning the full item record (itemType, all bibliographic fields, creators, tags, collections, relations, version). Optionally set include_children to also return the item's child notes and attachments. Use include to additionally request rendered output: "bib" (formatted bibliography entry), "citation" (inline citation), or "csljson" (CSL-JSON for downstream formatting); combine with style (a CSL style id, default chicago-note-bibliography) and locale. The returned version is required if you later update or delete this item.
