API to store and manage the data of your animation production

Zou, the Kitsu API is the memory of your animation production

The Kitsu API allows to store and manage the data of your animation/VFX production. Through it, you can link all the tools of your pipeline and make sure they are all synchronized.

A dedicated Python client, Gazu, allows users to integrate Zou into the tools.

Features

Zou can:

• Store production data, such as projects, shots, assets, tasks, and file metadata.

• Track the progress of your artists

• Store preview files and version them

• Provide folder and file paths for any task

• Import and Export data to CSV files

• Publish an event stream of changes

Installation and Documentation

Installation of Zou requires the setup of third-party tools such as a database instance, so it is recommended to follow the documentation:
