Scale AI

aid: scale-ai
name: Scale AI
description: Scale AI is the data engine for AI. The company turns raw data into training
  data by combining ML-powered pre-labeling with multi-tier human review, and ships
  an extensive REST API and SDKs for managing labeling, evaluation, and generative-AI
  data pipelines. The product portfolio spans the Scale Data Engine (foundational
  labeling and review), the GenAI Data Engine (data for foundation-model training
  and tuning), the Scale GenAI Platform (deployment and orchestration for generative
  AI), the Automotive Data Engine (LiDAR, sensor fusion, customer dashboards, Nucleus),
  and Donovan (Scale's defense / public-sector AI product). The REST API lives at
  api.scale.com/v1, supports live and sandbox modes, and is wrapped by official Python
  (scaleapi) and JavaScript (scaleapi) SDKs. The company serves enterprise, insurance,
  healthcare, and U.S. and global public-sector verticals.

  name: Scale REST API
  description: The Scale REST API is the unified programmatic surface for Scale's
    data engine. It is built on REST principles with resource-oriented URLs, form-encoded
    request bodies, JSON responses, and standard HTTP status codes. Endpoints cover
    tasks (create, retrieve, cancel, set metadata, manage tags and unique identifiers),
    batches (create, finalize, list, prioritize, retrieve status), projects (creation
    and management), specialized annotation tasks (image and video, sensor fusion,
    LiDAR, multi-stage tasks), data retrieval and downloads, taxonomy service management,
    and callbacks for async operations. The API is versioned (v1), supports live and
    sandbox modes, and operates on one object per request (no bulk updates).
