Hello @frascuchon! 👋

I'm Dosu, a friendly bot here to assist you with bugs, answer your queries, and guide you on becoming a contributor. While we wait for a human maintainer, feel free to ask me anything about the Argilla repository, I'm here to help!

Thank you for your feature request. Based on the current structure of the Argilla codebase, it seems feasible to create a new endpoint for supporting bulk annotation.

Currently, the handling of annotations is done through the AnnotationProgress model, which tracks the progress of individual annotations. To support bulk annotation, we would need to modify this model or create a new one that can handle multiple annotations at once.

However, without information on the current API structure and the endpoint used for creating a single annotation, it's challenging to provide a detailed plan on how to implement this feature. The implementation would largely depend on these details.

For instance, if the current API uses REST, the new endpoint could be something like POST /annotations/bulk, which accepts an array of annotations in the request body. On the other hand, if the API uses GraphQL, we would need to create a new mutation that accepts a list of annotations.

In both cases, the server-side logic would need to be updated to process multiple annotations at once. This could involve iterating over the array of annotations and creating/updating each one in the database. Error handling would also need to be considered, such as what to do if some annotations are successfully processed but others are not.

Here's a rough example of what the server-side code could look like:

@app.route('/annotations/bulk', methods=['POST'])
def create_bulk_annotations():
    annotations = request.json
    results = []
    for annotation in annotations:
        try:
            # This is a placeholder for the actual logic to create an annotation
            result = create_annotation(annotation)
            results.append(result)
        except Exception as e:
            # Handle the error appropriately
            pass
    return jsonify(results), 200

Please note that this is a very simplified example and the actual implementation would likely be more complex.

If you could provide more details about the current API structure and the endpoint used for creating a single annotation, I could give a more accurate and detailed plan for this feature. Dosu
