Label Studio Python SDK

The Label Studio Python SDK allows you to seamlessly integrate Label Studio into your data science and machine learning pipelines.

The SDK provides a set of predefined classes and methods to interact with the Label Studio API directly from your Python scripts, making it easier to manage projects, import tasks, and handle annotations.

Benefits to using the Python SDK

• Streamlined API Interactions: The SDK simplifies API interactions with user-friendly Python methods and classes.
• Integration: Easily integrate Label Studio actions into your existing data science workflows.
• Automation: Automate repetitive tasks such as project creation, task imports, and data exports.
• Enhanced Data Preparation: Use filters and custom configurations to prepare and manage data efficiently, ensuring high-quality annotations.
• Asynchronous Operations: Perform asynchronous data operations for better performance and handling of large datasets.

Start using the Label Studio Python SDK

1. Install the SDK: pip install label-studio-sdk
2. In your Python script, do the following:
   • Import the SDK.
   • Define your API key/access token and Label Studio URL. You can generate a key from your Account & Settings page. For more information, see Access Tokens.
   • Connect to the API.

# Define the URL where Label Studio is accessible
LABEL_STUDIO_URL = 'YOUR_BASE_URL'

# API key can be either your personal access token or legacy access token
LABEL_STUDIO_API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY'

# Import the SDK and the client module
from label_studio_sdk import LabelStudio
client = LabelStudio(base_url=LABEL_STUDIO_URL, api_key=LABEL_STUDIO_API_KEY)
