Rayyan Python SDK

A Python SDK for Rayyan, the popular systematic reviews platform. It is a wrapper around the HTTP APIs of Rayyan.

Installation

To install the latest stable release of Rayyan Python SDK, execute the following command:

pip install rayyan-sdk

For the nightly builds, execute the following command:

pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ rayyan-sdk

Usage

To use the SDK, you need to have a credentials file in JSON format like the one below. You can retrieve such file by signing in to your Rayyan account (create a free account if you don't have one) and visiting My Account page.

// creds.json
{
    "access_token": "9c2b0fe74ab7cd8d1227cd2fd",
    "refresh_token": "b40e325a1a7f53831ec3c09fffc7"
}

Import Rayyan main class and pass the credentials file to it like this:

rayyan = Rayyan("cred.json")

Note: The credentials file should be kept secret and not shared with anyone. It acts as a password to your Rayyan account.

To get the authenticated user info:

user = rayyan.user.get_info()
