A python package providing some utility functions for interacting with the Transkribus-API
pip install acdh-transkribus-utils
Set Transkribus-Credentials as environment variables:
export [email protected]
export TRANSKRIBUS_PASSWORD=verysecret(or create a file called env.secret similar to env.dummy and run source export_env_variables.sh)
you can pass in your credentials also as params e.g.
import os
from transkribus_utils.transkribus_utils import ACDHTranskribusUtils
tr_user = os.environ.get("TRANSKRIBUS_USER")
tr_pw = os.environ.get("TRANSKRIBUS_PASSWORD")
client = ACDHTranskribusUtils(user=tr_user, password=tr_pw)collections = client.list_collections()
for x in collections[-7:]:
print(x["colId"], x["colName"])
