rossum

The elisctl package has been renamed to rossum.
You may want to uninstall elisctl before installing rossum.

📝 Consider substituting rossum in your project with the more up-to-date rossum-sdk library.

rossum is a set of tools for Rossum integrators that wrap the Rossum API to provide an easy way to configure and customize a Rossum account programmatically. It is the best buddy when it comes to making requests to Rossum API.

Installation

See the rossum setup tutorial for detailed instructions.

Windows

Download an installation file from GitHub releases. Install it. And run it either from start menu or from command prompt.

UNIX based systems

Install the package from PyPI:

pip install rossum

Usage

Python API Client Library

The rossum library can be used to communicate with Rossum API, instead of using requests library directly. The advantages of using rossum:

• it contains a function that merges the paginated results into one list so the user does not need to get results page by page and take care of their merging,
• it takes care of login and logout for the user,
• it includes many methods for frequent actions that you don't need to write by yourself from scratch,
• it includes configurable retry logic,
• in case the API version changes, the change will be implemented to the library by Rossum for all the users.

To make any request to Rossum API, use RossumClient() class wrapper. You can use a Rossum token to log in or use username and password. You need to either pass the credentials including the URL directly to the client, or set ROSSUM_URL envvar and either a token or ROSSUM_USERNAME and ROSSUM_PASSWORD envvars in your code. See the sample script using rossum within a code to export the documents:

import datetime
from rossum.lib.api_client import RossumClient


queue_id = 123456
username = "your_username"
password = "your_password"
endpoint = "https://api.elis.rossum.ai/v1"

def export_documents():
    with RossumClient(context=None, user=username, password=password, url=endpoint) as client:
        date_today = datetime.date.today()
        date_end = date_today
        date_start = date_today - datetime.timedelta(days=1)
        response = client.get(
            f"queues/{queue_id}/export?format=xml&"
            f"exported_at_after={date_start.isoformat()}&"
            f"exported_at_before={date_end.isoformat()}&"
            f"ordering=exported_at&"
            f"page_size=100&page=1"
        )
    
    if not response.ok:
        raise ValueError(f"Failed to export: {response.status_code}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    export_documents()

API Client command line tool

⚠️ CLI functionality is not actively developed anymore.

The rossum tool can be either used in a command line interface mode by executing each command through rossum individually by passing it as an argument, or in an interactive shell mode of executing rossum without parameters and then typing the commands into the shown prompt.

Individual Rossum operations are triggered by passing specific commands to rossum. Commands are organized by object type in a tree-like structure and thus are composed of multiple words (e.g. user create or schema transform).

So either get the list of commands and execute them immediately such as:

rossum --help
rossum configure

or run the interactive shell by simply running

rossum

See the sample using rossum command line tool to create the main objects within an organization and
assign a user to a queue:

$ rossum configure
API URL [https://api.elis.rossum.ai]:
Username: your_username@company.com
Password:
$ rossum workspace create "My New Workspace"
12345
$ rossum queue create "My New Queue Via rossum" -s schema.json -w 12345 --email-prefix my-queue-email --bounce-email bounced-docs-here@company.com
50117, my-queue-email-ccddc6@elis.rossum.ai
$ rossum user create john.doe@company.com -q 50117 -g annotator -p my-secret-password-154568
59119, my-secret-password-154568
$ rossum user_assignment add -u 59119 -q 50117

Configure profiles

To run commands described below under a chosen user, it is possible to use profiles defined by configure function such as

rossum --profile profile_name configure

After defining necessary profiles and their credentials, the profile can be chosen the following way

rossum --profile profile_name queue list

Edit Schema

Some of the most common advanced operations are related to setting up the sidebar-describing schema according to business requirements. Using rossum you can edit schema easily as a JSON or XLSX file.

List queues to obtain schema id:

$ rossum queue list
  id  name                           workspace  inbox                                       schema  users
----  ---------------------------  -----------  ----------------------------------------  --------  ----------------------
   6  My Queue 1                             6  myqueue-ab12ee@elis.rossum.ai                    7  27

Download schema as a json:

rossum schema get 7 -O schema.json

Open the schema.json file in you favourite editor and upload modified version back to Rossum.

rossum schema update 7 --rewrite schema.json

You can also edit schema as an Excel (xlsx) file.

rossum schema get 7 --format xlsx -O schema.xlsx
rossum schema update 7 --rewrite schema.xlsx

From now on, documents will follow new schema. (Warning! If you don't use --rewrite option, the new schema will receive a new id - obtain it by queue list again.)

Schema Transformations

In addition, there is a scripting support for many common schema operations, that may be easily used for schema management automation. See rossum schema transform and rossum tools tools for further reference.

Run something like:

$ rossum schema transform substitute-options default_schema.json centre <( \
   rossum tools xls_to_csv ~/Downloads/ERA_osnova_strediska.xlsx --header 0 --sheet 1 | rossum tools csv_to_options - ) \
 | rossum schema transform substitute-options - gl_code <( \
    rossum tools xls_to_csv ~/Downloads/ERA_osnova_strediska.xlsx --header 0 | rossum tools csv_to_options - ) \
 | rossum schema transform remove - contract \
 > era_schema.json
