Encord

Encord is a computer vision data labeling and model evaluation platform that provides tools and APIs for managing datasets, annotation tasks, labels, and quality workflows at scale. The platform supports multimodal data including images, video, audio, DICOM, point clouds, and text. Encord exposes a REST API and a Python SDK (encord) for programmatically managing projects, datasets, ontologies, storage, and automated labeling workflows. Authentication is handled via SSH private key or service account credentials, with separate US and UK API endpoints available. Encord is used by AI teams in healthcare, autonomous systems, and other industries to accelerate model development by streamlining data curation, annotation, and evaluation pipelines.

Encord publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Computer Vision, Data Labeling, Annotation, Machine Learning, and Model Evaluation.

The Encord catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

Encord’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, pricing, and 12 more developer resources.
