I am supporting an application that used an older version of the invenio\_connector python package. Since then invenio has moved on to and from both invenio.utlls.connector and then invenio-client (as best as I can tell). Essentially, I am querying CDS via InvenioConnector and displaying the results in a graphical, interactive application. My question: what’s the latest and greatest way to install and access this API? ---

Hello, I think you are referring to Invenio v1, which is the version of Invenio that CDS is running at the moment. Do you refer to [this invenio-client](https://github.com/inveniosoftware-attic/invenio-client) lib? What APIs are you trying to use? ---

Thanks for your reply. I am doing something like: ```auto from invenio_connector import * cds_url = "http://cdsweb.cern.ch" cds = InvenioConnector(cds_url) results = cds.search(p="EXO",c="CMS Papers",f="reportnumber",rg="1000") ``` where `invenio_connector` comes from a local python file. I would like to stop using this local installation and start using whatever is currently supported (and to keep up with any changes). Is this invenio-client lib deprecated? If so, what should I use in its place? ---

Can you please share the link to the “invenio\_connector” library that you are using? We don’t maintain any Invenio connector library. I am the service manager of CDS, maybe you can create a [request](https://cern.service-now.com/service-portal?id=service_element&name=CDS-Service) explaining what kind of data you need to harvest. ---

We were using an old version of invenio\_connector installed locally: > **[d3-cms-physics/data at master · tpmccauley/d3-cms-physics](https://github.com/tpmccauley/d3-cms-physics/tree/master/data)** > > master/data You can see a bit what we are doing in > Essentially, we want to query CDS to obtain a list of CMS papers and from this information created an interactive webpage. Is there an up-to-date way to query CDS via a python API? ---

Hello, we don’t maintain this module. I will contact you by e-mail for more discussions, this is more related to CDS at CERN.
