Requester website layouts

If you have an existing task you created using the Mechanical Turk requester website, you can create HITs by referencing the LayoutId for that task and avoiding the need to provide a question value. To find the LayoutId, navigate to your Project List on the requester website and select the name of the project you want to use. A box pops up showing the HIT Type ID, Layout ID, and Layout Parameters that you can reference.

As shown in the following code example, the definition also includes the template parameters that are defined within the HTML. When you create a HIT, you need to pass both the HITLayoutId and values for the parameters that are defined.

{
  ...,
  HITLayoutId: "3O2UWD6SNTXSG9Z4I77HMZAX0U6499",
  HITLayoutParameters: [
    {
      "Name": "image_url", 
      "Value": " https://my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/img1234.jpg "
    }
  ]
}
 

More detail on creating HITs with these values can be found in Creating HITs.
