The Kili Python SDK
Kili Python SDK has been designed to perform complex project-related tasks by using the Python programming language. Using Kili Python SDK, you can write scripts for repetitive tasks and then integrate them in one machine learning or data science workflow. For people who are familiar with Python, it may be perfect middle ground between complex GraphQL queries and simple, but less flexible CLI one-liners.
Requirements
You only need Python 3.8 or higher.
Installation
Install the Kili client with pip:
pip install kili
Usage
- Create and copy a Kili API key
- Add the
KILI_API_KEY
variable in your bash environment (or in the settings of your favorite IDE) by pasting the API key value that you copied earlier:
export KILI_API_KEY='<you api key value here>'
- Instantiate the Kili client:
from kili.client import Kili
kili = Kili()
Info
You can also pass the API key as an argument during Kili
initialization:
kili = Kili(api_key='<you api key value here>')
Great!
You can now begin to use the Kili Python SDK! 🎉
