Evaluation Set Endpoints

Create Evaluation Set

Evaluation sets are collections of files and expected outputs that are used to evaluate the performance of a given processor in Extend. This endpoint will create a new evaluation set in Extend, which items can be added to using the [Create Evaluation Set Item](https://docs.extend.ai/2025-04-21/developers/api-reference/evaluation-set-endpoints/create-evaluation-set-item) endpoint. Note: it is not necessary to create an evaluation set via API. You can also create an evaluation set via the Extend dashboard and take the ID from there.
