FAQ

Questions Figshare owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I upload files to a Figshare article using this integration?

    Yes. You can use initiate_file_upload to start the process and complete_file_upload once the data transfer is finished. You can also use list_article_files to verify the contents of any article.

  • 02

    How do I create a new private draft for my research?

    Simply ask the agent to use the create_private_article capability. Provide a title and an optional description, and the agent will generate a new private entry in your Figshare account.

  • 03

    Is it possible to organize my articles into projects or collections?

    Absolutely. You can use create_project or create_collection to set up organizational structures, and use list_public_projects or list_public_collections to browse existing ones.
