Integrating with Labeling Using Webhooks

Motivation

A common usecase for Aquarium datasets is to identify problem labels and group them using segments, downloading a json or csv representation of a segment's elements, and then using scripting or a manual process to reformat the data to submit to a labeling service, whether an external vendor or an internal tool. By leveraging webhook configurations, the reformatting and submitting steps can be automated by a single handler. This allows an Aquarium user to directly send data to a labeling service directly from the UI without writing code each time.

The issue-exported event will POST the issue's elements to a webhook. A full schema can be found in the Event Schemas section of the general Webhooks page.

Schema with Example Map Keys

      issue_name: str,
      element_id: str,
      element_type: "frame" | "crop",
      frame_id: str,
      frame_data: {
        coordinate_frames: [{
          coordinate_frame_id: str,
          coordinate_frame_metadata: Optional[Dict],
          coordinate_frame_type: str,

      },
    }, ...]  
  }
}

Shaping the Webhook Payload To Send to Labeling

You can then use the elements in issue to create a new payload that is accepted by a labeling service; we've provided some sample code that serves a webhook endpoint and transforms an Aquarium payload to some common formats.

server.py
from flask import Flask, request
import os
from python_graphql_client import GraphqlClient

AQ_WEBHOOK_SECRET = os.getenv("AQ_WEBHOOK_SECRET")
LABELING_API_KEY = os.getenv("LABELING_API_KEY")
LABELING_API_ENDPOINT = os.getenv("LABELING_API_ENDPOINT")

labeling_api_headers = {
    # Replace with the proper API key header if any for your service
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {LABELING_API_KEY}"
}
client = GraphqlClient(endpoint=LABELING_API_ENDPOINT, headers=labeling_api_headers)

# Replace with appropriate graphql mutation.
# In this example, the way to requeue a label is to remove it and mark as a template
relabel_mutation_fragment = """
  mutation BulkDeleteLabels (
    $projectId: ID!,
    $makeTemplates: Boolean = true,
    $labelIds: [ID!]) {
        project (where: {id: $projectId}) {
            bulkDeleteLabels (
                where: {
                  id_in: $labelIds
                },
                makeTemplates: $makeTemplates,
                waitForQueue: true
            ) {
                count
            }
        }
    }
"""

    # Optionally verify that the payload came from Aquarium
    aq_secret = request.headers.get("x-aquarium-secret")

        _format_and_export_to_graphql_api(payload_envelope["project_name"], payload_envelope["issue"])
    else:

Triggering a Segment Export

To trigger an export, click the Export Issue button on an issue's page. If there aren't any webhooks configured to handle the issue-exported event on the issue's project, it will prompt you to create one.
