Basic Upload#

from atomscale import Client

client = Client()

client.upload(files=[
    "/data/growths/2025-02-10/sample_001.mp4",
    "/data/growths/2025-02-10/sample_002.mp4",
])

You can mix different file types in a single upload call.

Upload with Sample Name#

Link uploads to a sample for easier organization:

client.upload(
    files=["growth.mp4"],
    physical_sample="GaN-2025-001",
)

Disable Progress Bars#

For scripts or CI environments:

client = Client(mute_bars=True)
client.upload(files=["growth.mp4"])

What Happens Next#

Files upload to Atomscale (large files stream in chunks automatically)
Analysis pipelines start processing
Results appear in the web app and are searchable via the API

Note

Processing runs asynchronously. Use Search and Download to check when analysis completes (status="success").
