Welcome to Python CrowdFlower API’s documentation!

CrowdFlower

“CrowdFlower offers scalable solutions that deliver fast and accurate results for business data problems. Find one that’s best for you, and harness the power of the world’s largest workforce.” [1]

“The CrowdFlower API gives developers the ability to build applications that interact with and use all the features of CrowdFlower in an automated fashion. Tasks can be generated, work can be ordered, and your application can be notified as data is processed and judged by the CrowdFlower platform. The methods and practices described in this documentation are subject to change as the CrowdFlower API matures.” [2]
