Zou, the Kitsu API is the memory of your animation production
The Kitsu API allows to store and manage the data of your animation/VFX production. Through it you can link all the tools of your pipeline and make sure they are all synchronized.
A dedicated Python client, Gazu, allows users to integrate Zou into the tools.
Features
Zou can:
- Store production data, such as projects, shots, assets, tasks, metadata files, and validations.

- Store preview files and version them
- Provide folder and file paths for any task
- Import and Export data to CSV files
- Publish an event stream of changes
