Specifications

The philosophy behind this client is to allow you to make common operation as simply as possible. We want to provide helpers to make your development faster. If you think that one is missing, feel free to ask for it in the Github issues. Even better, you can contribute by directly adding it to the code.

The client is divided in eight modules:

• person: functions related to studio members
• project: functions related to running productions
• asset: functions related to asset and asset types.
• shot: functions related to shots, sequences and episodes.
• scene: functions related to layout scenes (which will lead to shots).
• task: functions related to tasks, task types and assignations.
• files: functions related to file path generation.
• user: functions related to current user data.
• playlist: functions related to project playlists.
• client: generic functions to deal with the API.

In the following, we are going to describe all functions available in the Gazu client.
