💡 Getting Started

For full documentation, please visit Encord Python SDK.

First, install Encord Python API Client using the pip package manager:

pip install encord

Then, generate an public-private key pair, and upload the public key to Encord website. Detailed guide can be found in the dedicated manual.

Passing the private key to the factory, you can initialise the Encord client directly.

from encord import EncordUserClient

user_client = EncordUserClient.create_with_ssh_private_key(
    "<your_private_key_content>",
    password="<your_private_key_password_if_set_on_key_generation>",
)

Once you have instantiated an Encord client, it is easy to fetch a project information and start working with the platform.

project = user_client.get_project("<project_hash>")
label_rows = project.list_label_rows_v2()

For detailed examples and API reference please refer to Encord SDK documentation
