FAQPage Schema
How do I query and preview rows from a Hugging Face dataset?

To preview rows from a Hugging Face dataset, you query the Dataset Viewer API's first-rows endpoint. This skill structures those GET requests to fetch splits, preview rows, and retrieve parquet links for rapid exploration.

How do I get parquet links and size statistics for HF datasets?

You retrieve parquet links and size statistics for HF datasets by querying the parquet, size, and statistics endpoints. This skill automates these API calls to provide dataset size metrics and direct parquet file access.

Can I apply text search and filters to Hugging Face dataset rows?

Yes, you can apply text search and filters to Hugging Face dataset rows. The skill leverages the search and filter API endpoints, allowing you to query specific data points using standard GET requests with offset and length pagination.

Does the Hugging Face Dataset Viewer API support gated datasets?

Yes, the Hugging Face Dataset Viewer API supports gated datasets through optional Bearer authentication. You provide authentication tokens in your GET requests to validate availability and access restricted splits and previews.

How do I list available splits and configs before downloading a dataset?

You list available splits and configs by querying the splits endpoint of the Dataset Viewer API. This skill helps validate dataset availability and retrieve split structures to plan your experiments before downloading.
