Command line tools for interacting with the Amazon Mechanical Turk.

The Amazon Mechanical Turk is a crowdsourcing marketplace that allows users (“requesters”) to submit tasks to be performed by other humans (“workers”) for a small fee. This package contains command-line tools for submitting tasks, querying results, and so on.

The command-line tools expect a file <filename>mturk.properties<filename> in the current directory, which should contain the following:


access_key=[insert your access key here]
secret_key=[insert your secret key here]
service_url=http://mechanicalturk.amazonaws.com/?Service=AWSMechanicalTurkRequester
