[Feature]: API: Direct data access for arbitrary processing #484

Open gdevenyi opened 1 year ago

gdevenyi commented 1 year ago

Description

Java/TypeScript does not have the ecosystem for read data processing, a complimentary (python?) data processing component would potentially need API interfaces to access data very directly.

Estimated Difficulty

Medium

Priority

Low

Could you define "read data processing"?

gdevenyi commented 1 year ago

For example from #483, processing the audio clip using speech recognition into text, or extracting other metrics that they may want.

Or hooking in a predictive modelling tool on something.

Why would we need to do any processing? Why not just save the binary and allow the user to download it as needed?
