Paying a bonus to a large number of workers

Hi,

Desperately seeking some help!!!!

I have to pay a bonus of $1 to 450 workers (two different tasks on M-Turk) as a requirement of my survey design for my PhD. To do this task one by one will take many hours, but I was told the following by Amazon;

Bonus to Workers on the UI can only be done individually. You can find steps for doing so here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSMechTurk/latest/RequesterUI/GivingaBonus.html

Bonus to Workers using the API is also individually, however, you can write a custom code to programmatically work through a list of Worker IDs and assignment IDs to bonus multiple Workers at a time. This isn’t something we can assist with.

Here is our documentation to bonus Workers individually using API: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSMechTurk/latest/AWSMturkAPI/ApiReference_SendBonusOperation.html

Is there anyone who can help me with the second option (assuming it will be quicker).

I am not confident with code, but didn't realise paying a bonus to all workers in a hit would be so hard.

Any help would be amazing as I'm a little worried how long it will take me to award these bonuses one by one.

Thank you!!!
