Quick Start

Sign Up

If you haven't already, create a free account at Labelbox.

Generate an API key

Log into Labelbox and navigate to Account > API Keys to generate an API key.

Install

To install the SDK, run the following command.

pip install labelbox

If you'd like to install the SDK with enhanced functionality, which additional optional capabilities surrounding data processing, run the following command.

pip install "labelbox[data]"

If you want to installed a version of Labelbox built locally, be aware that only tagged commits have been validated to fully work! Installing the latest from develop is at your own risk!

Validate Installation and API Key

After installing the SDK and getting an API Key, it's time to validate them both.

import labelbox as lb

client = lb.Client(API_KEY) # API_KEY = API Key generated from labelbox.com
dataset = client.create_dataset(name="Test Dataset")
data_rows = [{"row_data": "My First Data Row", "global_key": "first-data-row"}]
task = dataset.create_data_rows(data_rows)
task.wait_till_done()

You should be set! Running the snippet above should create a dataset called Test Dataset with a single datarow with the text contents being My First Data Row. You can log into Labelbox to verify this. If you have any issues please file a Github Issue or contact Labelbox Support directly. For more advanced examples and information on the SDK, see Documentation below.

Contribution Guidelines

We encourage anyone to contribute to this repository to help improve it. Please refer to Contributing Guide for detailed information on how to contribute. This guide also includes instructions for how to build and run the SDK locally.

Develop with AI assistance

Use the codebase as context for large language models

Using the GPT repository loader, we have created lbx_prompt.txt that contains data from all .py and .md files. The file has about 730k tokens. We recommend using Gemini 1.5 Pro with 1 million context length window.

Documentation

The SDK is well-documented to help developers get started quickly and use the SDK effectively. Here are some resources:

• Labelbox Official Documentation
• Jupyter Notebook Examples
• Python SDK Reference
