Encord is an end-to-end platform for AI-assisted annotation, quality control, and data management for computer vision and multimodal AI. The Encord Python SDK client allows programmatic interaction with the Encord API to create automated pipelines and integrate Encord functionalities directly into existing MLOps workflows. The library is currently at version 0.1.192 and is actively maintained with frequent updates, including multiple releases within the last month.
pip install encordVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Initializes the Encord client using an SSH private key from environment variables (supporting both EMEA and US deployments) and then lists the first 5 accessible datasets. A private key must be generated from the Encord web app and set as an environment variable (ENCORD_KEY or ENCORD_US_KEY).
Access the Encord platform GUI to manage dataset deletion.
Ensure a valid CORS policy is applied to your remote storage bucket, allowing Encord's domains. Consult provider-specific documentation for CORS setup (e.g., AWS S3 bucket policy).
Consider increasing the timeout setting for your Encord client instance, or break down operations into smaller queries if possible.
Refer to the latest Encord documentation for updated methods or alternatives for accessing label and activity logs.
Utilize Encord's platform or SDK re-encoding functions to process videos. The platform detects and warns about such issues, offering re-encoding solutions (e.g., dropping audio, re-encoding video frames, converting formats).
Install the missing dependency: `pip install python-dotenv` or `pip install encord python-dotenv`.
Verify that your SSH private key is correct, unexpired, and properly formatted. Ensure you are using the correct key for your Encord region (EMEA or US) and that it has the necessary permissions.
Update the CORS policy for your remote storage bucket to allow access from Encord's domains. Consult your cloud provider's documentation for specific instructions on setting up CORS.
Increase the timeout for your Encord client or consider fetching project data in smaller, more manageable queries if the API supports it. Check the Encord documentation for client configuration options related to timeouts.
