The Mendeley Python SDK provides access to the Mendeley API. For more information on the API and its capabilities, see the developer portal.

Install from PyPI using pip, a package manager for Python.

pip install mendeley

Full documentation, including examples, can be found on ReadTheDocs.

The SDK has been tested with Python 2.7 and 3.4.

There are two sample applications that illustrate how to use the SDK:

• mendeley-api-python-example, a Flask web application for accessing a user's library.
• mendeley-api-python-catalog-example, a command-line application for accessing the Mendeley catalog.
