💡 Getting Started
For full documentation, please visit Encord Python SDK.
First, install Encord Python API Client using the pip package manager:
python3 -m pip install encord
Some functionality is available through optional extras. Install them if you need COCO import/export or MCAP support:
# COCO import/export helpers (pycocotools, shapely, opencv, numpy)
python3 -m pip install "encord[coco]"
# MCAP support (mcap, protobuf, Pillow)
python3 -m pip install "encord[mcap]"
Then, create a service account, generate a key pair, and register the public key in the Encord platform. Detailed guide can be found in the dedicated manual.
Pass the path to your private key when initializing the Encord client:
# Import dependencies
from encord import EncordUserClient
# Authenticate with Encord using the path to your private key. Replace <private_key_path> with the path to your private key.
user_client = EncordUserClient.create_with_ssh_private_key(
ssh_private_key_path="<private_key_path>"
)
