CrowdFlower API - Python client
Project description
Client library for interacting with the CrowdFlower API with Python.
Installation
Install from PyPI:
easy_install -U crowdflower
Or install the latest version GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/chbrown/crowdflower.git cd crowdflower python setup.py develop
Import examples
Import:
import crowdflower
CrowdFlower API keys are 20 characters long; the one below is just random characters.
conn = crowdflower.Connection('LbcxvIlE3x1M8F6TT5hN')
The library will default to an environment variable called CROWDFLOWER_API_KEY if none is specified here:
conn = crowdflower.Connection()
If you want to cache job responses, like judgments, properties, and tags, you can initialize the connection with a cache. cache='filesystem' is the only option currently supported, and serializes JSON files to /tmp/crowdflower/*.
conn = crowdflower.Connection(cache='filesystem')
More examples
Loop through all your jobs and print the titles:
for job in conn.jobs(): print job.properties['title']
Create a new job with some new units:
data = [ {'id': '1', 'name': 'Chris Narenz', 'gender_gold': 'male'}, {'id': '2', 'name': 'George Henckels'}, {'id': '3', 'name': 'Maisy Ester'}, ] job = conn.upload(data) job.update({ 'title': 'Gender labels', 'included_countries': ['US', 'GB'], # Limit to the USA and United Kingdom 'payment_cents': 5, 'judgments_per_unit': 2, 'instructions': <some instructions html>, 'cml': <some layout cml>, 'options': { 'front_load': 1, # quiz mode = 1; turn off with 0 } }) job.gold_add('gender', 'gender_gold') print job
Motivation
The official Ruby client is hard to use, which is surprising, since the CrowdFlower API is so simple.
Which is not to say the CrowdFlower API is all ponies and rainbows, but all the documentation is there on one page, and it does what it says, for the most part. (Though there’s more that you can do, beyond what’s documented.)
Thus, a thin Python client for the CrowdFlower API.
