Installation

To install doccano-client, simply run:

pip install doccano-client

Usage

Object instantiation takes care of session authorization.
All methods return a requests.models.Response object.

from doccano_api_client import DoccanoClient

# instantiate a client and log in to a Doccano instance
doccano_client = DoccanoClient(
    'http://doccano.example.com',
    'username',
    'password'
)

# get basic information about the authorized user
r_me = doccano_client.get_me()

# print the details from the above query
print(r_me)

# get the label text from project 1, label 3
label_text = doccano_client.get_label_detail(1, 3)['text']

# upload a json file to project 1. If file is in current directory, file_path is omittable
r_json_upload = doccano_client.post_doc_upload(1, 'json', 'file.json', '/path/to/file/without/filename/')

Info: Uploading documents has been reported as broken, but it works with the beta-client (see below)
