HfApi Client

Below is the documentation for the HfApi class, which serves as a Python wrapper for the Hugging Face Hub’s API.

All methods from the HfApi are also accessible from the package’s root directly. Both approaches are detailed below.

Using the root method is more straightforward but the HfApi class gives you more flexibility. In particular, you can pass a token that will be reused in all HTTP calls. This is different than huggingface-cli login or login() as the token is not persisted on the machine. It is also possible to provide a different endpoint or configure a custom user-agent.

from huggingface_hub import HfApi, list_models

# Use root method
models = list_models()

# Or configure a HfApi client
hf_api = HfApi(
    endpoint="https://huggingface.co", # Can be a Private Hub endpoint.
    token="hf_xxx", # Token is not persisted on the machine.
)
models = hf_api.list_models()

Create a new branch for a repo on the Hub, starting from the specified revision (defaults to main). To find a revision suiting your needs, you can use list_repo_refs() or list_repo_commits().

create_commit

< >

( repo_id: str operations: typing.Iterable[typing.Union[huggingface_hub._commit_api.CommitOperationAdd, huggingface_hub._commit_api.CommitOperationDelete]] commit_message: str commit_description: typing.Optional[str] = None token: typing.Optional[str] = None repo_type: typing.Optional[str] = None revision: typing.Optional[str] = None create_pr: typing.Optional[bool] = None num_threads: int = 5 parent_commit: typing.Optional[str] = None ) CommitInfo

Parameters

  • repo_id (str) — The repository in which the commit will be created, for example: "username/custom_transformers"
  • operations (Iterable of CommitOperation()) — An iterable of operations to include in the commit, either:

  • commit_message (str) — The summary (first line) of the commit that will be created.
  • commit_description (str, optional) — The description of the commit that will be created
  • token (str, optional) — Authentication token, obtained with HfApi.login method. Will default to the stored token.
  • repo_type (str, optional) — Set to "dataset" or "space" if uploading to a dataset or space, None or "model" if uploading to a model. Default is None.
  • revision (str, optional) — The git revision to commit from. Defaults to the head of the "main" branch.
  • create_pr (boolean, optional) — Whether or not to create a Pull Request with that commit. Defaults to False. If revision is not set, PR is opened against the "main" branch.

  • num_threads (int, optional) — Number of concurrent threads for uploading files. Defaults to 5. Setting it to 2 means at most 2 files will be uploaded concurrently.
  • parent_commit (str, optional) — The OID / SHA of the parent commit, as a hexadecimal string. Shorthands (7 first characters) are also supported. If specified and create_pr is False, the commit will fail if revision does not point to parent_commit. If specified and create_pr is True, the pull request will be created from parent_commit. Specifying parent_commit ensures the repo has not changed before committing the changes, and can be especially useful if the repo is updated / committed to concurrently.

Returns

CommitInfo

Instance of CommitInfo containing information about the newly created commit (commit hash, commit url, pr url, commit message,…).

Raises

ValueError or RepositoryNotFoundError

  • ValueError — If commit message is empty.
  • ValueError — If parent commit is not a valid commit OID.
  • ValueError — If the Hub API returns an HTTP 400 error (bad request)
  • ValueError — If create_pr is True and revision is neither None nor "main".
  • RepositoryNotFoundError — If repository is not found (error 404): wrong repo_id/repo_type, private but not authenticated or repo does not exist.

Creates a commit in the given repo, deleting & uploading files as needed.

create_commit assumes that the repo already exists on the Hub. If you get a Client error 404, please make sure you are authenticated and that repo_id and repo_type are set correctly. If repo does not exist, create it first using create_repo().

create_commit is limited to 25k LFS files and a 1GB payload for regular files.

  • ignore_patterns (List[str] or str, optional) — If provided, files matching any of the patterns are not uploaded.
  • delete_patterns (List[str] or str, optional) — If provided, remote files matching any of the patterns will be deleted from the repo while committing new files. This is useful if you don’t know which files have already been uploaded. Note: to avoid discrepancies the .gitattributes file is not deleted even if it matches the pattern.

Returns

str

A URL to visualize the uploaded folder on the hub

Upload a local folder to the given repo. The upload is done through a HTTP request and doesn’t require git or git-lfs to be installed.

The structure of the folder will be preserved. Files with the same name already present in the repository will be overwritten. Others will be left untouched.

Use the allow_patterns and ignore_patterns arguments to specify which files to upload. These parameters accept either a single pattern or a list of patterns. Patterns are Standard Wildcards (globbing patterns) as documented here. If both allow_patterns and ignore_patterns are provided, both constraints apply. By default, all files from the folder are uploaded.

Use the delete_patterns argument to specify remote files you want to delete. Input type is the same as for allow_patterns (see above). If path_in_repo is also provided, the patterns are matched against paths relative to this folder. For example, upload_folder(..., path_in_repo="experiment", delete_patterns="logs/*") will delete any remote file under experiment/logs/. Note that the .gitattributes file will not be deleted even if it matches the patterns.

Uses HfApi.create_commit under the hood.

Raises the following errors:

  • HTTPError if the HuggingFace API returned an error
  • ValueError if some parameter value is invalid

upload_folder assumes that the repo already exists on the Hub. If you get a Client error 404, please make sure you are authenticated and that repo_id and repo_type are set correctly. If repo does not exist, create it first using create_repo().

...     token="my_token",
...     ignore_patterns="**/logs/*.txt",
... )
# "https://huggingface.co/datasets/username/my-dataset/tree/main/remote/experiment/checkpoints"

# Upload checkpoints folder including logs while deleting existing logs from the repo
# Useful if you don't know exactly which log files have already being pushed
>>> upload_folder(

Parameters

  • path_in_repo (str) — Relative filepath in the repo, for example: "checkpoints/1fec34a/weights.bin" for a file or "checkpoints/1fec34a/" for a folder.
  • is_folder (bool or Literal["auto"], optional) — Whether the Delete Operation applies to a folder or not. If “auto”, the path type (file or folder) is guessed automatically by looking if path ends with a ”/” (folder) or not (file). To explicitly set the path type, you can set is_folder=True or is_folder=False.

Data structure holding necessary info to delete a file or a folder from a repository on the Hub.

Token helper

huggingface_hub stores the authentication information locally so that it may be re-used in subsequent methods.

It does this using the HfFolder utility, which saves data at the root of the user.

class huggingface_hub.HfFolder

< >

( )

delete_token

< >

( )

Deletes the token from storage. Does not fail if token does not exist.

get_token

< >

( ) str or None

Returns

str or None

The token, None if it doesn’t exist.

Get token or None if not existent.

Note that a token can be also provided using the HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN environment variable.

Token is saved in the huggingface home folder. You can configure it by setting the HF_HOME environment variable. Previous location was ~/.huggingface/token. If token is found in old location but not in new location, it is copied there first. For more details, see https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/issues/1232.

save_token

< >

( token: str )

Parameters

  • token (str) — The token to save to the HfFolder

Save token, creating folder as needed.

Token is saved in the huggingface home folder. You can configure it by setting the HF_HOME environment variable.

Search helpers

Some helpers to filter repositories on the Hub are available in the huggingface_hub package.

  • language_creators (str or List, optional) — A string or list of strings that can be used to identify datasets on the Hub with how the data was curated, such as crowdsourced or machine_generated.
  • language (str or List, optional) — A string or list of strings representing a two-character language to filter datasets by on the Hub.
  • multilinguality (str or List, optional) — A string or list of strings representing a filter for datasets that contain multiple languages.
  • size_categories (str or List, optional) — A string or list of strings that can be used to identify datasets on the Hub by the size of the dataset such as 100K<n<1M or 1M<n<10M.
  • task_categories (str or List, optional) — A string or list of strings that can be used to identify datasets on the Hub by the designed task, such as audio_classification or named_entity_recognition.
  • task_ids (str or List, optional) — A string or list of strings that can be used to identify datasets on the Hub by the specific task such as speech_emotion_recognition or paraphrase.

A class that converts human-readable dataset search parameters into ones compatible with the REST API. For all parameters capitalization does not matter.

>>> new_filter = DatasetFilter(language="en")

>>> # Using multilinguality
>>> new_filter = DatasetFilter(multilinguality="multilingual")

>>> # Using size_categories
>>> new_filter = DatasetFilter(size_categories="100K<n<1M")

>>> # Using task_categories
>>> new_filter = DatasetFilter(task_categories="audio_classification")

Parameters

  • author (str, optional) — A string that can be used to identify models on the Hub by the original uploader (author or organization), such as facebook or huggingface.
  • library (str or List, optional) — A string or list of strings of foundational libraries models were originally trained from, such as pytorch, tensorflow, or allennlp.
  • language (str or List, optional) — A string or list of strings of languages, both by name and country code, such as “en” or “English”
  • model_name (str, optional) — A string that contain complete or partial names for models on the Hub, such as “bert” or “bert-base-cased”
  • task (str or List, optional) — A string or list of strings of tasks models were designed for, such as: “fill-mask” or “automatic-speech-recognition”
  • tags (str or List, optional) — A string tag or a list of tags to filter models on the Hub by, such as text-generation or spacy.
  • trained_dataset (str or List, optional) — A string tag or a list of string tags of the trained dataset for a model on the Hub.

>>> from huggingface_hub import ModelFilter

>>> # For the author_or_organization
>>> new_filter = ModelFilter(author_or_organization="facebook")

>>> # For the library
>>> new_filter = ModelFilter(library="pytorch")

>>> # For the language
>>> new_filter = ModelFilter(language="french")

>>> # For the model_name
>>> new_filter = ModelFilter(model_name="bert")

>>> # For the task
>>> new_filter = ModelFilter(task="text-classification")

>>> # Retrieving tags using the `HfApi.get_model_tags` method
>>> from huggingface_hub import HfApi

>>> api = HfApi()
# To list model tags

>>> api.get_model_tags()
# To list dataset tags

>>> api.get_dataset_tags()
>>> new_filter = ModelFilter(tags="benchmark:raft")

>>> # Related to the dataset
>>> new_filter = ModelFilter(trained_dataset="common_voice")

DatasetSearchArguments

class huggingface_hub.DatasetSearchArguments

< >

( api: typing.Optional[ForwardRef('HfApi')] = None )

A nested namespace object holding all possible values for properties of datasets currently hosted in the Hub with tab-completion. If a value starts with a number, it will only exist in the dictionary

Example:

>>> args = DatasetSearchArguments()

>>> args.author.huggingface
'huggingface'

>>> args.language.en
'language:en'

DatasetSearchArguments is a legacy class meant for exploratory purposes only. Its initialization requires listing all datasets on the Hub which makes it increasingly slower as the number of repos on the Hub increases.

ModelSearchArguments

class huggingface_hub.ModelSearchArguments

< >

( api: typing.Optional[ForwardRef('HfApi')] = None )

A nested namespace object holding all possible values for properties of models currently hosted in the Hub with tab-completion. If a value starts with a number, it will only exist in the dictionary

Example:

>>> args = ModelSearchArguments()

>>> args.author.huggingface
'huggingface'

>>> args.language.en
'en'
