Surge API

Surge's REST API for managing labeling projects, tasks, and results. Endpoints cover projects (list, retrieve, create, download results, save reports in multiple formats), tasks (create, list, retrieve individual tasks), and blueprints (list and use as templates for new projects). Authentication uses an API key sourced from the user's Surge profile, passed via the SURGE_API_KEY environment variable or set explicitly on the client. The reference is published in the Surge dashboard at app.surgehq.ai/docs/api.
