💡 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

Then, generate an public-private key pair, and upload the public key to Encord website. Detailed guide can be found in the dedicated manual.

Passing the private key to the factory, you can initialise the Encord client directly.

# 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>"
  )
