Description The API allows programmers to use the Amazon mechanical turk API. Three types of people interact with Amazon Mechanical Turk:

  • Requesters, who creates and pays for the work done by Workers. They can create and advertise work using the Amazon Mechanical Turk command line interface or the Requester User Interface and thereby not need developers
  • Workers, who find and accept work advertised by Requesters
  • Developers, who create Amazon Mechanical Turk applications that Requesters and Workers use.

Not everyone is admitted to being a "turk". I was flatly refused. Quote:
