SDK Documentation
How to install and use Ango Hub's Python SDK.
We provide a Python SDK to interface programmatically with Ango Hub.
How to Install the Ango SDK
To use the Ango SDK, you will need the ango
Python package, which we publish on PyPI.
To download and add the package to your current Python environment, simply run
How to upgrade the Ango SDK
To upgrade the ango
package to its latest version in your current Python environment run
Obtaining your API Key
To use the ango
package, you will need an API key. To obtain your API key, from your account page, enter the API tab. From here, you can create and copy your API key.
Creating a new API key will revoke the existing one.
Obtaining Project and Task IDs
Each project and task in Ango Hub is assigned its own unique ID. You may need to use such IDs in the SDK.
Project IDs
To obtain a project's ID, open the project and look at your browser's address bar. The URL will be in the format:
https://hub.ango.ai/projects/<project_id>
Copy the project ID from your address bar.
Task and Asset IDs
To obtain Task and Asset IDs, from the Task or the Assets tab, open the task you'd like to copy the ID of. Then, open the Task Info (1) panel on the right and copy the ID you need.
You may use one of the Copy to Clipboard buttons (2) to speed up the process.
SDK Examples
You can find examples for each method below, under each method's heading.
You can also find those examples in our Colab.
