Import audio data

Specifications

File formats: MP3, WAV
Import methods:

IAM Delegated Access
Signed URLs (https URLs only)
Direct upload of local files(256 MB max file size)
Note: Direct upload currently does not support adding additional metadata and attachments, see below Python example.

When importing audio data to Labelbox, your JSON file must include the following information for each audio file.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
`row_data`	Yes	`https` path to a cloud-hosted audio. For IAM Delegated Access, this URL must be in virtual-hosted-style format. For older regions, your S3 bucket may be in `https://<bucket-name>.s3.<region>.amazonaws.com/<key>` format. If your object URLs are formatted this way, make sure they are in the virtual-hosted-style format before importing.
`global_key`	No	Unique user-generated file name or ID for the file. Global keys are enforced to be unique in your org. Data rows will not be imported if its global keys are duplicated to existing data rows.
`media_type`	No	`"AUDIO"` (optional media type to provide better validation and error messaging)
`metadata_fields`	No	See Metadata.
`attachments`	No	See Attachments and Asset overlays.
