5. Paste the configuration to project_configuration.json

The file is located on the api-client-example/create-project-async folder.

6. Insert your dataset for the project in the api-client-example/create-project-async/documents folder

All files inside the folder will be treated as the project's documents. Make sure you remove any files that doesn't belong to the project.

7. Run the command on your terminal to create the project

Navigate to api-client-example/create-project-async first before running the command. Note that this API only submit a job, not a synchronous process. Thus, we need to make sure whether the job is successful which will be covered in the next step.

python3 api_client.py create_project \
  --base_url https://app.datasaur.ai \
  --client_id YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
  --client_secret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
  --team_id YOUR_TEAM_ID
 
# for windows replace \ with ^

8. Run this command to track your project creation status

The job_id will be given at the previous step along with the full command as the response. The detailed of this API could be seen here.

python3 api_client.py get_job_status \
  --base_url https://app.datasaur.ai \
  --client_id YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
  --client_secret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
  --job_id YOUR_JOB_ID
 
# for windows replace \ with ^ 

With these instructions, you can successfully create a new project by using a Python script via API.
