您如何使用亚马逊的Mechanical Turk API？

Question

I'm using Amazon's Mechanical Turk as a requester and need to automate some things (specifically bonus payments).

I feel really stupid for asking this, but... how does one actually use the MTurk API? I was reading the API reference , and it specifies some details about a lot of requests, including this one for bonus payment, but there's nothing about how to actually perform such a request. I assume it's an HTML request, but there's no mention of which endpoints to use or how to obtain keys for authorization.

Answer 1

You could call it via the AWS CLI or via your preferred programming language, such as Python .

For an introduction, you could do a web search and read articles like Tutorial: A beginner's guide to crowdsourcing ML training data with Python and MTurk .

Answer 2

You'll need to have an AWS account and make a call from code or the CLI. For working code examples using the API in a variety of languages, check out mturk-code-samples on GitHub . The MTurk blog also has end-to-end examples.
