The Edge Impulse API exposes programmatic access to most functionality in the studio. You can use the API to edit the labels of many samples at once, train models, or create new impulses. In addition you can subscribe to events, such as when a new file was processed by the ingestion service. You authenticate with the API using an API Key or with a username / password, see API Authentication Types.
The API is available at:
