Download Full Dataset

Export your complete dataset including all assets and annotations from Datature Vi for backup, local development, or data migration.

Downloading the full dataset exports all assets (images and videos) together with their annotations in a structured folder. This is the right choice when you need a complete backup, want to train a model locally, or are migrating data to another platform.

Before You Start
  • You need an existing dataset in your Datature Vi workspace.
    • Make sure you have enough local disk space. A dataset with 1,000 images typically needs 500 MB to 5 GB depending on resolution.
    • For datasets over 1,000 assets, the Vi SDK provides more reliable downloads with automatic retry logic.

      Troubleshooting

      Do this with the Vi SDK

      import vi
      
      client = vi.Client(
          secret_key="your-secret-key",
          organization_id="your-organization-id"
      )
      
      result = client.datasets.download(
          dataset_id="your-dataset-id",
          save_dir="./data"
      )
      print(result.summary())

      For more details, see the full SDK reference.
