PATCH

/api/annotation

Batch update annotation objects. Set q in querystring to filter selected annotations as per Making API search queries. Returned results are pre-filtered for only the annotations that come from annotation_sets where current_user_can_edit is set to true. As a safety measure, there is a limit of 200 annotations that can be updated in a single request.

CAUTION: this endpoint can batch update many annotations in a single request! If used incorrectly, you can loose your annotations and any annotations that have been shared with you for which you have been granted edit access. Please use with caution. TIP: Test your search query (q) on a GET request first to see what is returned before updating.

PATCH request data must be JSON with the following fields: 

{ "label_id": ..., "tags": [...], "comment": "..." }
Where label_id is the id of the label object that you would like to assign to the list of matched annotations. Setting label_id to false will reset the label and any assigned tags. tags is a list of tag.id's and comment is a string that can be assigned to each annotation.

# Example: batch change ALL annotations matching filter. Set label_id=7326 ("Ecklonia radiata") for all annotations in an annotation_set annotation_set_id=2171 annotated by user user_id=1 with a label matching label_id=7331 ("Sargasm spp")
# PATCH: (TIP first run as GET request to check filter before PATCHING)
/api/annotation?q={"filters": [{"name": "annotation_set_id", "op": "eq", "val": 2171}, {"name": "label_id", "op": "eq", "val": 7331}, {"name": "user_id", "op": "eq", "val": 1}]}
# JSON PATCH DATA:

PATCH

/api/annotation/<int:id>

None
DELETE

/api/annotation/<int:annotation_id>/tag/<int:tag_id>

None
PATCH

/api/annotation/<int:id>/link/<int:link_id>

Updates parent_id of annotation to group observations of the same object. If link_id points to a child annotation, the observation will be linked to its parent. An observation group is used to link observations of the same object that has been annotated multiple times.
DELETE

/api/annotation/<int:id>/link

Unlink this annotation from the observation group. If it is a group parent, the first child will be set as the new parent. An observation group is used to link observations of the same object that has been annotated multiple times.
PATCH

/api/annotation/<int:id>/link

Set this annotation as the parent of the observation group. An observation group is used to link observations of the same object that has been annotated multiple times.
GET

/api/annotation/export

General annotation export endpoint. This can export annotations across multiple annotation_sets. However, this endpoint is limited to a maximum of 200,000 annotations in any single query. You can export more in separate queries using a combination of limit and offset parameters. To export a single annotation_set without limits, see the export endpoint in the annotation_set resource.

Export annotations matching query define in q. Search queries are executed on the annotation model. This endpoint also supports translating to a target label_scheme (when possible)

Querystring parameters are:

?q={...}&f={...}&disposition=...&template=...&include_columns=[...]

Where q is a JSON search query (see Making API search queries) on the collection model, where f is a JSON dictionary containing a sequence of operations for transforming the data (see Data transformation API for more info), disposition defines the download type which can be attachment (default, triggers a download) or inline (displays in the browser), template is optional depending on the output of the steps in f and can be used to define the export format, include_columns is a JSON list of column fields for the exported model. Nested fields for related models delimited with a . If include_columns is omitted, all allowed columns will be returned.

Metadata for the annotation_set matching id is also returned in the response. Depending on the output format, this could be as part of the response body in a metadata field or in the response headers with the key X-Content-Metadata.

Allowed fields include:

id, tag_names, comment, label.id, label.name, label.lineage_names, label.uuid, label.color, updated_at, user.username, needs_review, likelihood, point.id, point.x, point.y, point.t, point.data, point.media.id, point.media.key, point.media.path_best, point.media.timestamp_start, point.media.timestamp_start_local, point.media.path_best_thm, point.pose.timestamp, point.pose.timestamp_local, point.pose.lat, point.pose.lon, point.pose.alt, point.pose.dep, point.pose.data, point.pose.id, point.media.deployment.id, point.media.deployment.key, point.media.deployment.name,point.polygon, point.media.deployment.campaign.id, point.media.deployment.campaign.key, point.media.deployment.campaign.name, object_id, supplementary_label

See annotation model columns, relations and attributes for more information on each of the included fields.

TRANSLATING TO OTHER LABEL_SCHEMES

This endpoint also supports the translation of labels from a source to a target label_scheme. another label_scheme using the semantic translation framework. In order to do this, you need to specify the additional translate url query parameter:

&translate={"target_label_scheme_id":..., "vocab_registry_keys": ..., "mapping_override": ...}
Where target_label_scheme_id [required] is an INT with the id of the target label scheme, vocab_registry_keys [optional] is a list containing the priority order of keys for vocab_registries for which to perform the semantic translation and mapping_override defines a set of key-value pairs containing source label.id : target label.id for which to override the translation. Note: for extended schemes, labels are translated through tree_traversal and no semantic translation is required. With translation parameters you will also need to specify additional columns in the include_columns parameter to obtain the translation output.

Additional allowed columns include:

label.translated.id, label.translated.name, label.translated.lineage_names, label.translated.uuid, label.translated.translation_info,

These columns are ignored if no translate query parameter is supplied.

EXAMPLES

# TODO
GET

/api/annotation/tally/<group_by>

Get a tally of annotations grouped by different properties. group_by can be one of [month, user, platform, campaign, deployment, label, affiliation^, usergroup^]. Set q in querystring to filter selected annotations as per Making API search queries. Note, the same query in q can be applied to all group_by types to filter the list of annotations that are included in the tally. Results are also paginated with a default of 500 and a maximum on 5000 returned per page. This can be controlled by setting the results_per_page parameter in the query string. Returned results are pre-filtered to return only the annotations that have been labeled (label_id != null). Also accepts a query string parameter template which formats the data using a predefined template. Some example templates include: data.html which returns an HTML table, json.html which returns HTML-formatted JSON, data.csv which returns a CSV file for download. If left blank, raw JSON will be returned.

^ NOTE: the counts in the affiliation and usergroup tally should be interpreted with care. If someone belongs to more than one group, then their annotations will contribute to both so they may be double counted. The corollary of that is if someone has not linked themselves to an affiliation or group, then their annotations will not be counted in the tally.

TRANSLATING TO OTHER LABEL_SCHEMES

When using group_by=label it is possible translate labels from a source to a target label_scheme using the semantic translation framework. In order to do this, you need to specify the additional translate url query parameter:

&translate={"target_label_scheme_id":..., "vocab_registry_keys": ..., "mapping_override": ...}
Where target_label_scheme_id [required] is an INT with the id of the target label scheme, vocab_registry_keys [optional] is a list containing the priority order of keys for vocab_registries for which to perform the semantic translation and mapping_override defines a set of key-value pairs containing source label.id : target label.id for which to override the translation. Note: for extended schemes, labels are translated through tree_traversal and no semantic translation is required. When passing translation parameters, there will the following additional output columns: label_lineage_names, translated_id, translated_lineage_names, translated_name, translated_label_scheme_name, translated_info.

TRANSLATING TO OTHER LABEL_SCHEMES

This endpoint also supports the translation of labels from a source to a target label_scheme. another label_scheme using the semantic translation framework. In order to do this, you need to specify the additional translate url query parameter:

&translate={"target_label_scheme_id":..., "vocab_registry_keys": ..., "mapping_override": ...}
Where target_label_scheme_id [required] is an INT with the id of the target label scheme, vocab_registry_keys [optional] is a list containing the priority order of keys for vocab_registries for which to perform the semantic translation and mapping_override defines a set of key-value pairs containing source label.id : target label.id for which to override the translation. Note: for extended schemes, labels are translated through tree_traversal and no semantic translation is required. With translation parameters you will also need to specify additional columns in the include_columns parameter to obtain the translation output.

Additional allowed columns include:

label.translated.id, label.translated.name, label.translated.lineage_names, label.translated.uuid, label.translated.translation_info,

These columns are ignored if no translate query parameter is supplied.

/api/deployment_file/<int:fid>/data

Deployment file resource. Get the data for the file resource matching fid. This endpoint also provides options to manipulate, transform and save data to the database. The querystring takes the following form: 

?f={...}&save={...}&disposition=...&template=...
where f is a JSON dictionary containing a sequence of operations for transforming the data (see Data transformation API for more info), disposition is optional and defines the download type which can be inline (default, displays in the browser) or attachment (triggers a download) , template is optional depending on the output of the steps in f and can be used to define the export format, save is a JSON dictionary that defines batch save operations. This can be used to save the file content or the output of the operations in f to a related database model collection.

Example1: convert CSV file into serialized, nested JSON expected for media resource and batch save rows to the related deployment.media collection for this model 

/api/deployment_file/2/data?save={"collection": "deployment.media"}&f={"operations": [{"module": "pandas", "method": "read_csv", "kwargs": {"parse_dates": ["time"], "skiprows": 2, "usecols": [2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]}}, {"method": "rename", "kwargs": {"columns": {"image_filename": "key", "longitude": "pose.lon", "latitude": "pose.lat", "depth_sensor": "pose.data.dep", "altitude_sensor": "pose.alt", "depth": "pose.dep", "sea_water_temperature": "pose.data.temp", "sea_water_salinity": "pose.data.salinity", "chlorophyll_concentration_in_sea_water": "pose.data.chlorophyll", "backscattering_ratio": "pose.data.backscater", "colored_dissolved_organic_matter": "pose.data.colored_dissolved_organic_matter", "time": "timestamp_start", "cluster_tag": "pose.data.cluster_tag"}}}, {"method": "to_dict", "kwargs": {"orient": "records"}}, {"module": "data", "method": "unflatten_dicts", "kwargs": {}}]}

Example 2: similar to above, but perform an update rather than an insert. Can optinally create missing. This is slower. 

/api/deployment_file/4/data?save={"collection": "deployment.media", "update_existing": true, "match_on": ["key"], "create_missing": true}&f={"operations": [{"module": "pandas", "method": "read_csv", "kwargs": {"parse_dates": ["time"], "skiprows": 2, "usecols": [2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]}}, {"method": "rename", "kwargs": {"columns": {"image_filename": "key", "longitude": "pose.lon", "latitude": "pose.lat", "depth_sensor": "pose.data.dep", "altitude_sensor": "pose.alt", "depth": "pose.dep", "sea_water_temperature": "pose.data.temp", "sea_water_salinity": "pose.data.salinity", "chlorophyll_concentration_in_sea_water": "pose.data.chlorophyll", "backscattering_ratio": "pose.data.backscater", "colored_dissolved_organic_matter": "pose.data.colored_dissolved_organic_matter", "time": "timestamp_start", "cluster_tag": "pose.data.cluster_tag"}}}, {"method": "to_dict", "kwargs": {"orient": "records"}}, {"module": "data", "method": "unflatten_dicts", "kwargs": {}}]}

PATCH

/api/label_scheme/<int:label_scheme_id>/reset_label_parents

Reset labels parents for label_scheme with id matching label_scheme_id. Uses origin_code and parent_origin_code to match up labels. Accepts optional query string argument replace_existing=true, which will reset parent_ids for labels that are already set. By default this is set to false
GET

/api/label_scheme/<int:label_scheme_id>/export

Export labels collection from label_scheme matching id. Search queries are executed on the label model.

Querystring parameters are:

?q={...}&f={...}&disposition=...&template=...&include_columns=[...]

Where q is a JSON search query (see Making API search queries) on the collection model, where f is a JSON dictionary containing a sequence of operations for transforming the data (see Data transformation API for more info), disposition defines the download type which can be attachment (default, triggers a download) or inline (displays in the browser), template is optional depending on the output of the steps in f and can be used to define the export format, include_columns is a JSON list of column fields for the exported model. Nested fields for related models delimited with a . If include_columns is omitted, all allowed columns will be returned.

Metadata for the annotation_set matching id is also returned in the response. Depending on the output format, this could be as part of the response body in a metadata field or in the response headers with the key X-Content-Metadata.

Allowed fields include:

id, parent_id, uuid, name, color, user.id, user.full_name, label_scheme.id, label_scheme.name, lineage_names, is_approved, tags, vocab_registry, created_at, updated_at, origin_code, parent_origin_code, is_mapped

See label model columns, relations and attributes for more information on each of the included fields.

TRANSLATING TO OTHER LABEL_SCHEMES

This endpoint also supports the translation of labels from a source to a target label_scheme. another label_scheme using the semantic translation framework. In order to do this, you need to specify the additional translate url query parameter:

&translate={"target_label_scheme_id":..., "vocab_registry_keys": ..., "mapping_override": ...}
Where target_label_scheme_id [required] is an INT with the id of the target label scheme, vocab_registry_keys [optional] is a list containing the priority order of keys for vocab_registries for which to perform the semantic translation and mapping_override defines a set of key-value pairs containing source label.id : target label.id for which to override the translation. Note: for extended schemes, labels are translated through tree_traversal and no semantic translation is required.

NOTE: you also need to add the translated.* columns to obtain the translation output. These columns are ignored if no translate query parameter is supplied.

HYBRID ATTRIBUTES FILTERABLE
These are special defined attributes return dynamically processed results and support both query and instance property operations. HYBRID ATTRIBUTES can be used when building filters (for endpoints that support filtering, see Making API queries ). Note HYBRID METHODS may require input parameters.
NAME TYPE ARGS DESCRIPTION
timestamp property -

The in-situ timestamp for when the annotated object was captured/sampled in the media frame. Returns media.timestamp_start + t if t is set, otherwise it just returns media.timestamp_start

has_xy property -

BOOLEAN, whether or not the point has x-y coordinates. If false, it is a whole-frame annotation, not a point annotation
xy_distance method x, y

FLOAT, euclidean distance to x and y (which are proportions of the image width and height)
OTHER MODEL ATTRIBUTES FILTERABLE
These are special defined attributes return dynamically processed results. These attributes do not work in filter queries.
NAME TYPE DESCRIPTION
annotation_label property

Returns list of dicts [{annotation_id:...,label_id:...}, ...]

SETTER used to set a label based on lookup condition / parameters during batch annotation importing. Parameters are passed by scalar value with query string properties or by setting value as dict. The property value can be scalar, dict, list of dicts or list of scalars.

Examples 

# using a query
point.annotation_label = {"filters":[{"name":...,"op":...,"val":...}],"comment":...,"likelihood":...,"needs_review":...}
# using the origin code for the label
point.annotation_label = {"origin_code":...,"comment":...,"likelihood":...,"needs_review":...}
# using the label UUID
point.annotation_label = {"uuid":...,"comment":...,"likelihood":...,"needs_review":...}
# using the label ID (fastest)
point.annotation_label = {"id":...,"comment":...,"likelihood":...,"needs_review":...}
# To set multiple annotation labels per point, formulate dicts as above but combine in a list:
point.annotation_label = [{...}, ...]
where comment, likelihood and needs_review are optional. Label search can be done using origin_code, uuid, id and/or defining filters, which is a list of filter objects for the label resource. See Making API search queries.

Coming soon: setting labels using semantic translation (or vocab elements)
pixels_tl property

Use to convert x, y and polygon between pixel coordinates from top left to native proportions coords.

Returns x, y and polygon converted to col, row and polygon values in pixel coordinates from top left of frame using the pixel width and height of the associated media object and are set by the model definition as per the pixel_width and pixel_height properties defined in the media object resource, but can be overridden by url parameters: &pixel_width=&pixel_height=.

SETTER convert from pixels coordinates col, row and polygon to to native proportional coords during batch annotation importing. As above, pixel with and height can be overridden by the url parameters: &pixel_width=&pixel_height=, and in addition, they can be set by dict parameters width and height. See examples below.

Examples 

# Convert x and y pixels to proportions using url params
# URL QS params &pixel_width=&pixel_height=
point.pixels_tl = {"col":...,"row":...}
# Convert x and y pixels to proportions using property imports for each row/entry
point.pixels_tl = {"col":...,"row":...,"width":...,"height":...}
# As above, but include a polygon in pixel coordinates that also needs to be converted
point.pixels_tl = {..., "polygon": [[p1x, p1y],...]}
where col and row are the point coordinates in pixels from the top-left of the frame. polygon is optional and defines a list of lists containing x-y coordinates of polygon in pixels from top-left of the frame.
polygon property

List of lists containing coordinated of vertices for polygons. Coordinates are in proportions of the image (0-1.0). For point annotations, measurements are relative to point's xy location. For whole-frame annotations, they are absolute. When setting this property, it can be a list of lists or a JSON string which will automatically be converted to a list of lists.
pose property

Get closest linked pose to timestamp
set_media property

Returns media.key

SETTER used to link the media object to the point annotation during batch annotation importing. If the matched media object is not already in the associated media_collection, it is added. Matching is done on media.key and optionally deployment.key or deployment.id. Matching on media.key can be very slow, plus it is not always guaranteed to be unique, so it is highly recommended you include deployment info. If multiple matches are found, it will raise an error. Deployment info can be set as a dict property or as a query string parameter.

Examples 

# Set media key as a scalar and use deployment ID from query string
# URL QS params: &deployment_id=407
point.set_media = "PR_20150301_220629_593_LC16"
# Set media key as a scalar and use deployment key from query string
# URL QS params: &deployment_key=r20150301_211555_01_TF_ABCDE_South_West_Mew_Stone
point.set_media = "PR_20150301_220629_593_LC16"
# Set media key and deployment key as dict
point.set_media = {"key":"PR_20150301_220629_593_LC16", "deployment_key":"r20150301_211555_01_TF_ABCDE_South_West_Mew_Stone"}

Making API queries

Pagination

/api/resource?results_per_page=...&page=...

Responses to most GET requests (with the exception of the export endpoints) are paginated by default, with at most ten objects per page. To request a specific page, add a page=N query parameter to the request URL, where N is a positive integer (the first page is page one). If no page query parameter is specified, the first page will be returned.

In order to specify the number of results per page, add the query parameter results_per_page=N where N is a positive integer. If results_per_page is greater than the maximum number of results per page as configured by the server, then the query parameter will be ignored.

In addition to the "objects" list, the response JSON object will have a "page" key with the current page number, a "num_pages" key with total number of pages into which the set of matching instances is divided, and a "num_results" key with total number of instances which match the requested search.

Query format:

/api/resource?q={"filters":[...],"limit":...,"offset":...,"order_by":[...],"group_by":[...],"single":...}

The query parameter q must be a JSON string. It can have the following mappings, all of which are optional:

filters

A list of <filterobjects> of one of the following forms:

{"name": <fieldname>, "op": <operatorname>, "val": <argument>}

Where <operatorname> is one of the strings described below, <argument> is a value to be used as the second argument to the given operator and <fieldname> is the name of the field of the model to which to apply the operator, which can be either a MODEL COLUMN, RELATED MODEL, ASSOCIATION PROXY or HYBRID ATTRIBUTE for a resource.

{"name": <fieldname>, "op": <operatorname>, "field": <fieldname>}

Where the first <fieldname> and <operatorname> are as above and the second <fieldname> is the field of the model that should be used as the second argument to the operator.

The first <fieldname> may specify a field on a related model, if it is a string of the form <relationname>__<fieldname>. Alternatively if the field name is the name of a relation and the operator is "has" or "any", the "val" argument can be a dictionary with the arguments representing another, nested filter to be applied as the argument for "has" or "any".

The <operatorname> strings recognized by the API include:

==, eq, equals, equals_to "equal to" operator, where val can be numeric or string
!=, neq, does_not_equal, not_equal_to "not equal to" operator, where val can be numeric or string
>, gt, <, lt "less/greater than" operator, where val is typically numeric
>=, ge, gte, geq, <=, le, lte, leq "less/greater than or equal to" operator, where val is typically numeric
in, not_in "is in" operator, where val is typically a list of values
is_null, is_not_null "is null" check, where there is no val param
like, ilike: "like" (case sensitive) or "ilike" (case insensitive) comparison, where val is a string. Wildcards can be included as a % symbol (or %25 url-encoded).
has for nesting operators on a relation that is a single object (i.e.: MANYTOONE)
any for nesting operators on a relation that is a list of objects (i.e.: ONETOMANY/MANYTOMANY)

For geometry columns, there are also some spatial operators for <operatorname>, which include:

geo_at Geometry / Geography type <fieldname> is close to a nominated lat/lon. The val takes the form: {"lat":...,"lon":...,"dist":...} where dist is optional and defaults to 0.00005. For Geometry types dist is in srid units (eg: degrees), for Geography types it is meters. Hint: assume Geometry types most of the time.
geo_in_bbox Geometry / Geography type <fieldname> is within a bounding box. The val takes the form: [p1,p2], which is a list containing two elements being two diagonal points defining the bounding box, eg: [bottom-left, top-right]. p1,p2 are position objects of the form, {"lat":...,"lon":...}
geo_in_poly Geometry / Geography type <fieldname> is within a polygon. The val is a polygon list of points of the form: [p1,p2,p3,...,pn,p1], where p1-pn are position objects of the form {"lat":..., "lon":...}. Note the polygon is closed, being that it starts and ends wth p1.

Filters can also exclude results, for example:

{"not": <filterobject>}

Filter objects can also be arbitrary Boolean formulas, for example:

{"or": [<filterobject>, {"and": [<filterobject>, ...]}, ...]}

Filter objects can also be defined on Hybrid Attributes of a model. hybrid property filter objects are defined in the same way as column fields, but to filter by a hybrid method with one or more input arguments (<arg1>,<arg2>,...<argN>), the object can be defined as:

{"name": {"method":<method_name>,"args":[<arg1>,<arg2>,...<argN>]}, "op": <operatorname>, "val": <argument>}

The returned list of matching instances will include only those instances that satisfy all of the given filters.

If a filter is poorly formatted (for example, op is set to '==' but val is not set), the server responds with 400 Bad Request.

limit
A positive integer which specifies the maximum number of objects to return.
offset
A positive integer which specifies the offset into the result set of the returned list of instances.
order_by

A list of objects of the form:

{"field": <fieldname>, "direction": <directionname>}

where <fieldname> is a string corresponding to the name of a field of the requested model and <directionname> is either "asc" for ascending order or "desc" for descending order.

<fieldname> may alternately specify a field on a related model, if it is a string of the form <relationname>__<fieldname>.

Ordering can also be defined on Hybrid Attributes of a model. hybrid property order_by objects are defined in the same way as column fields, but to filter by a hybrid method with one or more input arguments (<arg1>,<arg2>,...<argN>), the object can be defined as:

{"field": {"method":<method_name>,"args":[<arg1>,<arg2>,...<argN>]}, "direction": <directionname>}
group_by

A list of objects of the form:

{"field": <fieldname>}

where <fieldname> is a string corresponding to the name of a field of the requested model.

<fieldname> may alternately specify a field on a related model, if it is a string of the form <relationname>__<fieldname>.

single
A Boolean representing whether a single result is expected as a result of the search. If this is true and either no results or multiple results meet the criteria of the search, the server responds with an error message.

Data transformation and batch operations

/api/resource?f={...}&save={...}

Some endpoints support data transformation and manipulation of the output using the data transformation API. This allows users to define a sequence of operations that can be used to transform the output of the response in order to (i) export data in a desired format or (ii) perform batch import operations.
