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()

BadRequestError — If invalid reference for a branch. Ex: refs/pr/5 or ‘refs/foo/bar’.
HfHubHTTPError — If the branch already exists on the repo (error 409) and exist_ok is set to False.

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

< source >

( repo_id: str operations: Iterable[CommitOperation] commit_message: str commit_description: Optional[str] = None token: Optional[str] = None repo_type: Optional[str] = None revision: Optional[str] = None create_pr: Optional[bool] = None num_threads: int = 5 parent_commit: Optional[str] = None run_as_future: bool = False ) → CommitInfo or Future

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:
- CommitOperationAdd to upload a file
- CommitOperationDelete to delete a file
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. If revision is set and is a branch, PR is opened against this branch. If revision is set and is not a branch name (example: a commit oid), an RevisionNotFoundError is returned by the server.
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.
run_as_future (bool, optional) — Whether or not to run this method in the background. Background jobs are run sequentially without blocking the main thread. Passing run_as_future=True will return a Future object. Defaults to False.

Returns

CommitInfo or Future

Instance of CommitInfo containing information about the newly created commit (commit hash, commit url, pr url, commit message,…). If run_as_future=True is passed, returns a Future object which will contain the result when executed.

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.

create_commits_on_pr

< source >

( repo_id: str addition_commits: List[List[CommitOperationAdd]] deletion_commits: List[List[CommitOperationDelete]] commit_message: str commit_description: Optional[str] = None token: Optional[str] = None repo_type: Optional[str] = None merge_pr: bool = True num_threads: int = 5 verbose: bool = False ) → str

verbose (bool) — If set to True, process will run on verbose mode i.e. print information about the ongoing tasks. Defaults to False.

Returns

str

URL to the created PR.

Raises

MultiCommitException

MultiCommitException — If an unexpected issue occur in the process: empty commits, unexpected commits in a PR, unexpected PR description, etc.

Push changes to the Hub in multiple commits.

Commits are pushed to a draft PR branch. If the upload fails or gets interrupted, it can be resumed. Progress is tracked in the PR description. At the end of the process, the PR is set as open and the title is updated to match the initial commit message. If merge_pr=True is passed, the PR is merged automatically.

All deletion commits are pushed first, followed by the addition commits. The order of the commits is not guaranteed as we might implement parallel commits in the future. Be sure that your are not updating several times the same file.

create_commits_on_pr is experimental. Its API and behavior is subject to change in the future without prior notice.

Example:

>>> from huggingface_hub import HfApi, plan_multi_commits
>>> addition_commits, deletion_commits = plan_multi_commits(
...     operations=[
...          CommitOperationAdd(...),
...          CommitOperationAdd(...),
...          CommitOperationDelete(...),
...          CommitOperationDelete(...),
...          CommitOperationAdd(...),
...     ],
... )
>>> HfApi().create_commits_on_pr(
...     repo_id="my-cool-model",
...     addition_commits=addition_commits,
...     deletion_commits=deletion_commits,
...     (...)
...     verbose=True,
... )

create_commits_on_pr 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().

list_files_info

< source >

( repo_id: str paths: Union[List[str], str, None] = None expand: bool = False revision: Optional[str] = None repo_type: Optional[str] = None token: Optional[Union[bool, str]] = None ) → Iterable[RepoFile]

Parameters

repo_id (str) — A namespace (user or an organization) and a repo name separated by a /.
paths (Union[List[str], str, None], optional) — The paths to get information about. Paths to files are directly resolved. Paths to folders are resolved recursively which means that information is returned about all files in the folder and its subfolders. If None, all files are returned (the default). If a path do not exist, it is ignored without raising an exception.
expand (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether to fetch more information about the files (e.g. last commit and security scan results). This operation is more expensive for the server so only 50 results are returned per page (instead of 1000). As pagination is implemented in huggingface_hub, this is transparent for you except for the time it takes to get the results.
revision (str, optional) — The revision of the repository from which to get the information. Defaults to "main" branch.
repo_type (str, optional) — The type of the repository from which to get the information ("model", "dataset" or "space". Defaults to "model".
token (bool or str, optional) — A valid authentication token (see https://huggingface.co/settings/token). If None or True and machine is logged in (through huggingface-cli login or login()), token will be retrieved from the cache. If False, token is not sent in the request header.

Returns

Iterable[RepoFile]

The information about the files, as an iterable of RepoFile objects. The order of the files is not guaranteed.

Raises

RepositoryNotFoundError or RevisionNotFoundError

RepositoryNotFoundError — If repository is not found (error 404): wrong repo_id/repo_type, private but not authenticated or repo does not exist.
RevisionNotFoundError — If revision is not found (error 404) on the repo.

List files on a repo and get information about them.

Takes as input a list of paths. Those paths can be either files or folders. Two server endpoints are called:

POST “/paths-info” to get information about the provided paths. Called once.
GET “/tree?recursive=True” to paginate over the input folders. Called only if a folder path is provided as input. Will be called multiple times to follow pagination. If no path is provided as input, step 1. is ignored and all files from the repo are listed.

Examples:

Get information about files on a repo.

>>> from huggingface_hub import list_files_info
>>> files_info = list_files_info("lysandre/arxiv-nlp", ["README.md", "config.json"])
>>> files_info
<generator object HfApi.list_files_info at 0x7f93b848e730>
>>> list(files_info)

BadRequestError — If your Space is a static Space. Static Spaces are always running and never billed. If you want to hide a static Space, you can set it to private.

Restart your Space.

This is the only way to programmatically restart a Space if you’ve put it on Pause (see pause_space()). You must be the owner of the Space to restart it. If you are using an upgraded hardware, your account will be billed as soon as the Space is restarted. You can trigger a restart no matter the current state of a Space.

For more details, please visit the docs.

run_as_future

< source >

( fn: Callable[..., R] *args **kwargs ) → Future

Parameters

fn (Callable) — The method to run in the background.
*args, **kwargs — Arguments with which the method will be called.

Returns

Future

a Future instance to get the result of the task.

Run a method in the background and return a Future instance.

The main goal is to run methods without blocking the main thread (e.g. to push data during a training). Background jobs are queued to preserve order but are not ran in parallel. If you need to speed-up your scripts by parallelizing lots of call to the API, you must setup and use your own ThreadPoolExecutor.

Note: Most-used methods like upload_file(), upload_folder() and create_commit() have a run_as_future: bool argument to directly call them in the background. This is equivalent to calling api.run_as_future(...) on them but less verbose.

Example:

>>> from huggingface_hub import HfApi
>>> api = HfApi()
>>> future = api.run_as_future(api.whoami) # instant
>>> future.done()
False
>>> future.result() # wait until complete and return result
(...)
>>> future.done()
True

set_space_sleep_time

< source >

Parameters

repo_id (str) — ID of the repo to update. Example: "bigcode/in-the-stack".
sleep_time (int, optional) — Number of seconds of inactivity to wait before a Space is put to sleep. Set to -1 if you don’t want your Space to pause (default behavior for upgraded hardware). For free hardware, you can’t configure the sleep time (value is fixed to 48 hours of inactivity). See https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-gpus#sleep-time for more details.
token (str, optional) — Hugging Face token. Will default to the locally saved token if not provided.

Returns

SpaceRuntime

Runtime information about a Space including Space stage and hardware.

Set a custom sleep time for a Space running on upgraded hardware..

Your Space will go to sleep after X seconds of inactivity. You are not billed when your Space is in “sleep” mode. If a new visitor lands on your Space, it will “wake it up”. Only upgraded hardware can have a configurable sleep time. To know more about the sleep stage, please refer to https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-gpus#sleep-time.

It is also possible to set a custom sleep time when requesting hardware with request_space_hardware().

Upload a local file (up to 50 GB) to the given repo. The upload is done through a HTTP post request, and doesn’t require git or git-lfs to be installed.

Raises the following errors:

HTTPError if the HuggingFace API returned an error
ValueError if some parameter value is invalid
RepositoryNotFoundError If the repository to download from cannot be found. This may be because it doesn’t exist, or because it is set to private and you do not have access.
RevisionNotFoundError If the revision to download from cannot be found.

If both multi_commits and create_pr are True, the PR created in the multi-commit process is kept opened.
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.
allow_patterns (List[str] or str, optional) — If provided, only files matching at least one pattern are uploaded.
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.
multi_commits (bool) — If True, changes are pushed to a PR using a multi-commit process. Defaults to False.
multi_commits_verbose (bool) — If True and multi_commits is used, more information will be displayed to the user.
run_as_future (bool, optional) — Whether or not to run this method in the background. Background jobs are run sequentially without blocking the main thread. Passing run_as_future=True will return a Future object. Defaults to False.

Returns

str or Future[str]

A URL to visualize the uploaded folder on the hub. If run_as_future=True is passed, returns a Future object which will contain the result when executed.

Upload a local folder to the given repo. The upload is done through a HTTP requests, 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.

Any .git/ folder present in any subdirectory will be ignored. However, please be aware that the .gitignore file is not taken into account.

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().

multi_commits is experimental. Its API and behavior is subject to change in the future without prior notice.

Example:

# Upload checkpoints folder except the log files
>>> upload_folder(
...     folder_path="local/checkpoints",

whoami

< source >

( token: Optional[str] = None )

Parameters

token (str, optional) — Hugging Face token. Will default to the locally saved token if not provided.

Call HF API to know “whoami”.

huggingface_hub.plan_multi_commits

< source >

( operations: typing.Iterable[typing.Union[huggingface_hub._commit_api.CommitOperationAdd, huggingface_hub._commit_api.CommitOperationDelete]] max_operations_per_commit: int = 50 max_upload_size_per_commit: int = 2147483648 ) → Tuple[List[List[CommitOperationAdd]], List[List[CommitOperationDelete]]]

Parameters

operations (List of CommitOperation()) — The list of operations to split into commits.
max_operations_per_commit (int) — Maximum number of operations in a single commit. Defaults to 50.
max_upload_size_per_commit (int) — Maximum size to upload (in bytes) in a single commit. Defaults to 2GB. Files bigger than this limit are uploaded, 1 per commit.

Returns

Tuple[List[List[CommitOperationAdd]], List[List[CommitOperationDelete]]]

a tuple. First item is a list of lists of CommitOperationAdd representing the addition commits to push. The second item is a list of lists of CommitOperationDelete representing the deletion commits.

Split a list of operations in a list of commits to perform.

Implementation follows a sub-optimal (yet simple) algorithm:

Delete operations are grouped together by commits of maximum max_operations_per_commits operations.
All additions exceeding max_upload_size_per_commit are committed 1 by 1.
All remaining additions are grouped together and split each time the max_operations_per_commit or the max_upload_size_per_commit limit is reached.

We do not try to optimize the splitting to get the lowest number of commits as this is a NP-hard problem (see bin packing problem). For our use case, it is not problematic to use a sub-optimal solution so we favored an easy-to-explain implementation.

plan_multi_commits is experimental. Its API and behavior is subject to change in the future without prior notice.

Example:

>>> from huggingface_hub import HfApi, plan_multi_commits
>>> addition_commits, deletion_commits = plan_multi_commits(
...     operations=[
...          CommitOperationAdd(...),
...          CommitOperationAdd(...),
...          CommitOperationDelete(...),
...          CommitOperationDelete(...),
...          CommitOperationAdd(...),
...     ],
... )
>>> HfApi().create_commits_on_pr(
...     repo_id="my-cool-model",
...     addition_commits=addition_commits,
...     deletion_commits=deletion_commits,
...     (...)
...     verbose=True,

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

< source >

( )

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.
