Inception API Documentation

[Pedro Henrique]

Hi everyone, I'd like to know if INCEpTION has complete API documentation? I need to create my own API that collects some data from an INCEpTION using data already displayed in the web version, but that would automatically compile this data into a spreadsheet.

You can get inspiration from either of these projects - both use the project export API to access the project data and extract information:

- https://github.com/inception-project/inception-reporting-dashboard
- https://github.com/catalpa-cl/inceptalytics

Also, recent INCEpTION versions include the "Explorer" feature by which you can build
custom tables from the annotation data and export them:

https://inception-project.github.io/releases/40.3/docs/user-guide.html#sect_explorer

What data specifically do you seek to export?

Cheers,

I need to obtain data related to annotators and the progress of document annotations, such as:
- Anotator(s)
- Document_id
- Status
- Opened_at
- Updated_at

Such information is contained in the full project export which can be obtained via the
remote API project export endpoint. That's what inceptalytics and the dashboard also use.
