Change Project Status

Learn how to change the status of a Project using Encord’s Python SDK.

You can programmatically change the status of your projects using ProjectStatus.

You can change a Project’s status to any of the following:

• NOT_STARTED
• IN_PROGRESS
• PAUSED
• COMPLETED
• CANCELLED
• ARCHIVED

# Import dependencies
from encord import EncordUserClient
from encord.project import ProjectStatus

# User input
SSH_PATH = "/Users/chris-encord/ssh-private-key.txt" # Specify the file path to your access key
PROJECT_ID = "c96d3d2a-eeb0-433e-8298-27513f7e4585" # Specify the unique Project ID for the Project

# Authenticate with Encord
user_client: EncordUserClient = EncordUserClient.create_with_ssh_private_key(
    ssh_private_key_path=SSH_PATH,
    # For US platform users use "https://api.us.encord.com"
    domain="https://api.encord.com",
)

project = user_client.get_project(PROJECT_ID)
print(project.status)
project.set_status(ProjectStatus.COMPLETE) # Specify the Project status change you want to make

project = user_client.get_project(PROJECT_ID)
print(project.status)
