Upload a Dataset

The upload_dataset method lets you upload a dataset to a workspace into a new project or to one that already exists within Roboflow.

To upload a dataset using the Python SDK, use the following code:

import roboflow

rf = roboflow.Roboflow(api_key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE)

# get a workspace
workspace = rf.workspace("WORKSPACE_URL")

# Upload data set to a new/existing project
workspace.upload_dataset(
    "./dataset/", # This is your dataset path
    "PROJECT_ID", # This will either create or get a dataset with the given ID
    num_workers=10,
    project_license="MIT",
    project_type="object-detection",
    batch_name=None,
    num_retries=0
)

The num_workers value allows you to set how many images should be uploaded concurrently. We recommend setting a value no greater than 25.
