# assign\_batches

`imerit_ango.sdk.SDK.`

## assign\_batches(project\_id, asset\_ids, batches)

Assign a list of assets to one or more existing batches within your project.

### Parameters

* **project\_id:** string
  * The unique identifier for the project. You can find the project ID in [the user interface](/sdk/sdk-documentation.md#project-ids) or retrieve it using the [`list_projects`](/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/list_projects.md) function.
* **asset\_ids:** List\[str]
  * List of asset IDs that will be assigned to the specified batches. Asset IDs can be obtained [from the UI](/sdk/sdk-documentation.md#task-and-asset-ids), or from [`get_assets`](/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/get_assets.md) function.
  * Example: `['0000000aa0a00a0000aaaa0a', '0000000aa0a00a0000aaaa0b']`
* **batches:** List\[str]
  * List of batch IDs to assign to the specified assets. Batch IDs can be obtained using the [`get_batches`](/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/get_batches.md) function.
  * Example:
    * `['0000000aa0a00a0000aaaa0a', '0000000aa0a00a0000aaaa0b']`

Returns:

* **output:** dict
  * A dictionary containing the result of the operation.
  * Including a `status` field indicating whether the request was successful and a `data` field containing the response payload with updated resources produced by the operation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
All specified batches must already exist in the project. If necessary, create batches first using the [create\_batch](/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/create_batch.md) function.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The assets to assign must already exist in the project. To upload assets, use [upload\_files](/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/upload_files.md) or [upload\_files\_cloud](/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/upload_files_cloud.md) or any other appropriate upload function.
