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()

HfApi

class huggingface_hub.HfApi

( endpoint: Optional[str] = None token: Union[str, bool, None] = None library_name: Optional[str] = None library_version: Optional[str] = None user_agent: Union[Dict, str, None] = None headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None )

Parameters

endpoint (str, optional) — Endpoint of the Hub. Defaults to https://huggingface.co.
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.
library_name (str, optional) — The name of the library that is making the HTTP request. Will be added to the user-agent header. Example: "transformers".
library_version (str, optional) — The version of the library that is making the HTTP request. Will be added to the user-agent header. Example: "4.24.0".
user_agent (str, dict, optional) — The user agent info in the form of a dictionary or a single string. It will be completed with information about the installed packages.
headers (dict, optional) — Additional headers to be sent with each request. Example: {"X-My-Header": "value"}. Headers passed here are taking precedence over the default headers.

Client to interact with the Hugging Face Hub via HTTP.

The client is initialized with some high-level settings used in all requests made to the Hub (HF endpoint, authentication, user agents…). Using the HfApi client is preferred but not mandatory as all of its public methods are exposed directly at the root of huggingface_hub.

accept_access_request

( repo_id: str user: str repo_type: Optional[str] = None token: Union[bool, str, None] = None )

Parameters

repo_id (str) — The id of the repo to accept access request for.
user (str) — The username of the user which access request should be accepted.
repo_type (str, optional) — The type of the repo to accept access request for. Must be one of model, dataset or space. Defaults to model.
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.

Raises

HTTPError

HTTPError — HTTP 400 if the repo is not gated.
HTTPError — HTTP 403 if you only have read-only access to the repo. This can be the case if you don’t have write or admin role in the organization the repo belongs to or if you passed a read token.
HTTPError — HTTP 404 if the user does not exist on the Hub.
HTTPError — HTTP 404 if the user access request cannot be found.
HTTPError — HTTP 404 if the user access request is already in the accepted list.

Accept an access request from a user for a given gated repo.

Once the request is accepted, the user will be able to download any file of the repo and access the community tab. If the approval mode is automatic, you don’t have to accept requests manually. An accepted request can be cancelled or rejected at any time using cancel_access_request() and reject_access_request().

For more info about gated repos, see https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/models-gated.

auth_check

( repo_id: str repo_type: Optional[str] = None token: Union[bool, str, None] = None )

Parameters

repo_id (str) — The repository to check for access. Format should be "user/repo_name". Example: "user/my-cool-model".
repo_type (str, optional) — The type of the repository. Should be one of "model", "dataset", or "space". If not specified, the default is "model".
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token. If not provided, the locally saved token will be used, which is the recommended authentication method. Set to False to disable authentication. Refer to: https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication.

Raises

RepositoryNotFoundError or GatedRepoError

RepositoryNotFoundError — Raised if the repository does not exist, is private, or the user does not have access. This can occur if the repo_id or repo_type is incorrect or if the repository is private but the user is not authenticated.
GatedRepoError — Raised if the repository exists but is gated and the user is not authorized to access it.

Check if the provided user token has access to a specific repository on the Hugging Face Hub.

This method verifies whether the user, authenticated via the provided token, has access to the specified repository. If the repository is not found or if the user lacks the required permissions to access it, the method raises an appropriate exception.

Example:

Check if the user has access to a repository:

>>> from huggingface_hub import auth_check
>>> from huggingface_hub.utils import GatedRepoError, RepositoryNotFoundError

try:
    auth_check("user/my-cool-model")
except GatedRepoError:
    # Handle gated repository error
    print("You do not have permission to access this gated repository.")
except RepositoryNotFoundError:
    # Handle repository not found error
    print("The repository was not found or you do not have access.")

In this example:

If the user has access, the method completes successfully.
If the repository is gated or does not exist, appropriate exceptions are raised, allowing the user to handle them accordingly.

token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.

Raises

HTTPError

HTTPError — HTTP 400 if the repo is not gated.
HTTPError — HTTP 403 if you only have read-only access to the repo. This can be the case if you don’t have write or admin role in the organization the repo belongs to or if you passed a read token.

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
- CommitOperationCopy to copy a file
Operation objects will be mutated to include information relative to the upload. Do not reuse the same objects for multiple commits.
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 (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.
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 a README.md file with an invalid metadata section is committed. In this case, the commit will fail early, before trying to upload any file.
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.

The input list of CommitOperation will be mutated during the commit process. Do not reuse the same objects for multiple commits.

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.

>>> from huggingface_hub import duplicate_space

# Duplicate a Space to your account
>>> duplicate_space("multimodalart/dreambooth-training")
RepoUrl('https://huggingface.co/spaces/nateraw/dreambooth-training',...)

# Can set custom destination id and visibility flag.
>>> duplicate_space("multimodalart/dreambooth-training", to_id="my-dreambooth", private=True)
RepoUrl('https://huggingface.co/spaces/nateraw/my-dreambooth',...)

SafetensorsParsingError — If a safetensors file header couldn’t be parsed correctly.

Parse metadata for a safetensors repo on the Hub.

We first check if the repo has a single safetensors file or a sharded safetensors repo. If it’s a single safetensors file, we parse the metadata from this file. If it’s a sharded safetensors repo, we parse the metadata from the index file and then parse the metadata from each shard.

To parse metadata from a single safetensors file, use parse_safetensors_file_metadata().

For more details regarding the safetensors format, check out https://huggingface.co/docs/safetensors/index#format.

Example:

# Parse repo with single weights file
>>> metadata = get_safetensors_metadata("bigscience/bloomz-560m")
>>> metadata
SafetensorsRepoMetadata(
    metadata=None,
    sharded=False,
    weight_map={'h.0.input_layernorm.bias': 'model.safetensors', ...},
    files_metadata={'model.safetensors': SafetensorsFileMetadata(...)}
)
>>> metadata.files_metadata["model.safetensors"].metadata
{'format': 'pt'}

# Parse repo with sharded model
>>> metadata = get_safetensors_metadata("bigscience/bloom")
Parse safetensors files: 100%|██████████████████████████████████████████| 72/72 [00:12<00:00,  5.78it/s]
>>> metadata
SafetensorsRepoMetadata(metadata={'total_size': 352494542848}, sharded=True, weight_map={...}, files_metadata={...})
>>> len(metadata.files_metadata)
72  # All safetensors files have been fetched

# Parse repo with sharded model
>>> get_safetensors_metadata("runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5")
NotASafetensorsRepoError: 'runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5' is not a safetensors repo. Couldn't find 'model.safetensors.index.json' or 'model.safetensors' files.

EnvironmentError — If token=True but the token cannot be found.
OSError — If ETag cannot be determined.
ValueError — If some parameter value is invalid.

Download a given file if it’s not already present in the local cache.

The new cache file layout looks like this:

The cache directory contains one subfolder per repo_id (namespaced by repo type)
inside each repo folder:
- refs is a list of the latest known revision => commit_hash pairs
- blobs contains the actual file blobs (identified by their git-sha or sha256, depending on whether they’re LFS files or not)
- snapshots contains one subfolder per commit, each “commit” contains the subset of the files that have been resolved at that particular commit. Each filename is a symlink to the blob at that particular commit.

If local_dir is provided, the file structure from the repo will be replicated in this location. When using this option, the cache_dir will not be used and a .cache/huggingface/ folder will be created at the root of local_dir to store some metadata related to the downloaded files. While this mechanism is not as robust as the main cache-system, it’s optimized for regularly pulling the latest version of a repository.

Parameters

repo_id (str) — The id of the repo to get access requests for.
repo_type (str, optional) — The type of the repo to get access requests for. Must be one of model, dataset or space. Defaults to model.
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.

Returns

List[AccessRequest]

A list of AccessRequest objects. Each time contains a username, email, status and timestamp attribute. If the gated repo has a custom form, the fields attribute will be populated with user’s answers.

Raises

HTTPError

HTTPError — HTTP 400 if the repo is not gated.
HTTPError — HTTP 403 if you only have read-only access to the repo. This can be the case if you don’t have write or admin role in the organization the repo belongs to or if you passed a read token.

Get accepted access requests for a given gated repo.

An accepted request means the user has requested access to the repo and the request has been accepted. The user can download any file of the repo. If the approval mode is automatic, this list should contains by default all requests. Accepted requests can be cancelled or rejected at any time using cancel_access_request() and reject_access_request(). A cancelled request will go back to the pending list while a rejected request will go to the rejected list. In both cases, the user will lose access to the repo.

list_repo_tree

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

Parameters

repo_id (str) — A namespace (user or an organization) and a repo name separated by a /.
path_in_repo (str, optional) — Relative path of the tree (folder) in the repo, for example: "checkpoints/1fec34a/results". Will default to the root tree (folder) of the repository.
recursive (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether to list tree’s files and folders recursively.
expand (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether to fetch more information about the tree’s files and folders (e.g. last commit and files’ 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 tree. Defaults to "main" branch.
repo_type (str, optional) — The type of the repository from which to get the tree ("model", "dataset" or "space". Defaults to "model".
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.

Returns

Iterable[Union[RepoFile, RepoFolder]]

The information about the tree’s files and folders, as an iterable of RepoFile and RepoFolder objects. The order of the files and folders is not guaranteed.

Raises

RepositoryNotFoundError or RevisionNotFoundError or EntryNotFoundError

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.
EntryNotFoundError — If the tree (folder) does not exist (error 404) on the repo.

List a repo tree’s files and folders and get information about them.

A paused Inference Endpoint will not be charged. It can be resumed at any time using resume_inference_endpoint(). This is different than scaling the Inference Endpoint to zero with scale_to_zero_inference_endpoint(), which would be automatically restarted when a request is made to it.

For convenience, you can also pause an Inference Endpoint using pause_inference_endpoint().

pause_space

( repo_id: str token: Union[bool, str, None] = None ) → SpaceRuntime

Runtime information about your Space including stage=PAUSED and requested hardware.

Raises

RepositoryNotFoundError or HfHubHTTPError or BadRequestError

RepositoryNotFoundError — If your Space is not found (error 404). Most probably wrong repo_id or your space is private but you are not authenticated.
HfHubHTTPError — 403 Forbidden: only the owner of a Space can pause it. If you want to manage a Space that you don’t own, either ask the owner by opening a Discussion or duplicate the Space.
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.

Pause your Space.

A paused Space stops executing until manually restarted by its owner. This is different from the sleeping state in which free Spaces go after 48h of inactivity. Paused time is not billed to your account, no matter the hardware you’ve selected. To restart your Space, use restart_space() and go to your Space settings page.

For more details, please visit the docs.

preupload_lfs_files

( repo_id: str additions: Iterable[CommitOperationAdd] token: Union[str, bool, None] = None repo_type: Optional[str] = None revision: Optional[str] = None create_pr: Optional[bool] = None num_threads: int = 5 free_memory: bool = True gitignore_content: Optional[str] = None )

Parameters

repo_id (str) — The repository in which you will commit the files, for example: "username/custom_transformers".
operations (Iterable of CommitOperationAdd) — The list of files to upload. Warning: the objects in this list will be mutated to include information relative to the upload. Do not reuse the same objects for multiple commits.
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.
repo_type (str, optional) — The type of repository to upload to (e.g. "model" -default-, "dataset" or "space").
revision (str, optional) — The git revision to commit from. Defaults to the head of the "main" branch.
create_pr (boolean, optional) — Whether or not you plan to create a Pull Request with that commit. Defaults to False.
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.
gitignore_content (str, optional) — The content of the .gitignore file to know which files should be ignored. The order of priority is to first check if gitignore_content is passed, then check if the .gitignore file is present in the list of files to commit and finally default to the .gitignore file already hosted on the Hub (if any).

Pre-upload LFS files to S3 in preparation on a future commit.

This method is useful if you are generating the files to upload on-the-fly and you don’t want to store them in memory before uploading them all at once.

This is a power-user method. You shouldn’t need to call it directly to make a normal commit. Use create_commit() directly instead.

Commit operations will be mutated during the process. In particular, the attached path_or_fileobj will be removed after the upload to save memory (and replaced by an empty bytes object). Do not reuse the same objects except to pass them to create_commit(). If you don’t want to remove the attached content from the commit operation object, pass free_memory=False.

Example:

>>> from huggingface_hub import CommitOperationAdd, preupload_lfs_files, create_commit, create_repo

>>> repo_id = create_repo("test_preupload").repo_id

# Generate and preupload LFS files one by one
>>> operations = [] # List of all `CommitOperationAdd` objects that will be generated
>>> for i in range(5):
...     content = ... # generate binary content
...     addition = CommitOperationAdd(path_in_repo=f"shard_{i}_of_5.bin", path_or_fileobj=content)
...     preupload_lfs_files(repo_id, additions=[addition]) # upload + free memory
...     operations.append(addition)

# Create commit
>>> create_commit(repo_id, operations=operations, commit_message="Commit all shards")

reject_access_request

user (str) — The username of the user which access request should be rejected.
repo_type (str, optional) — The type of the repo to reject access request for. Must be one of model, dataset or space. Defaults to model.
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.

Raises

HTTPError

HTTPError — HTTP 400 if the repo is not gated.
HTTPError — HTTP 403 if you only have read-only access to the repo. This can be the case if you don’t have write or admin role in the organization the repo belongs to or if you passed a read token.
HTTPError — HTTP 404 if the user does not exist on the Hub.
HTTPError — HTTP 404 if the user access request cannot be found.
HTTPError — HTTP 404 if the user access request is already in the rejected list.

Reject an access request from a user for a given gated repo.

A rejected request will go to the rejected list. The user cannot download any file of the repo. Rejected requests can be accepted or cancelled at any time using accept_access_request() and cancel_access_request(). A cancelled request will go back to the pending list while an accepted request will go to the accepted list.

token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.
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 sleep (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.

Returns

Runtime information about a Space including Space stage and hardware.

Request new hardware for a Space.

It is also possible to request hardware directly when creating the Space repo! See create_repo() for details.

Runtime information about your Space.

Raises

RepositoryNotFoundError or HfHubHTTPError or BadRequestError

RepositoryNotFoundError — If your Space is not found (error 404). Most probably wrong repo_id or your space is private but you are not authenticated.
HfHubHTTPError — 403 Forbidden: only the owner of a Space can restart it. If you want to restart a Space that you don’t own, either ask the owner by opening a Discussion or duplicate the Space.
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.

Resume an Inference Endpoint.

For convenience, you can also resume an Inference Endpoint using InferenceEndpoint.resume().

revision_exists

( repo_id: str revision: str repo_type: Optional[str] = None token: Union[str, bool, None] = None )

Parameters

repo_id (str) — A namespace (user or an organization) and a repo name separated by a /.
revision (str) — The revision of the repository to check.
repo_type (str, optional) — Set to "dataset" or "space" if getting repository info from a dataset or a space, None or "model" if getting repository info from a model. Default is None.
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.

Checks if a specific revision exists on a repo on the Hugging Face Hub.

Examples:

>>> from huggingface_hub import revision_exists
>>> revision_exists("google/gemma-7b", "float16")
True
>>> revision_exists("google/gemma-7b", "not-a-revision")
False

run_as_future

( 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

scale_to_zero_inference_endpoint

Parameters

name (str) — The name of the Inference Endpoint to scale to zero.
namespace (str, optional) — The namespace in which the Inference Endpoint is located. Defaults to the current user.
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.

Returns

InferenceEndpoint

information about the scaled-to-zero Inference Endpoint.

Scale Inference Endpoint to zero.

An Inference Endpoint scaled to zero will not be charged. It will be resume on the next request to it, with a cold start delay. This is different than pausing the Inference Endpoint with pause_inference_endpoint(), which would require a manual resume with resume_inference_endpoint().

For convenience, you can also scale an Inference Endpoint to zero using InferenceEndpoint.scale_to_zero().

set_space_sleep_time

( repo_id: str sleep_time: int token: Union[bool, str, None] = None ) → SpaceRuntime

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 (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.

Returns

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().

Note that the tqdm_class is not passed to each individual download. Defaults to the custom HF progress bar that can be disabled by setting HF_HUB_DISABLE_PROGRESS_BARS environment variable.

Returns

str

folder path of the repo snapshot.

Raises

RepositoryNotFoundError or RevisionNotFoundError or EnvironmentError or OSError or ValueError

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.
EnvironmentError — If token=True and the token cannot be found.
OSError — if ETag cannot be determined.
ValueError — if some parameter value is invalid.

Download repo files.

Download a whole snapshot of a repo’s files at the specified revision. This is useful when you want all files from a repo, because you don’t know which ones you will need a priori. All files are nested inside a folder in order to keep their actual filename relative to that folder. You can also filter which files to download using allow_patterns and ignore_patterns.

If local_dir is provided, the file structure from the repo will be replicated in this location. When using this option, the cache_dir will not be used and a .cache/huggingface/ folder will be created at the root of local_dir to store some metadata related to the downloaded files.While this mechanism is not as robust as the main cache-system, it’s optimized for regularly pulling the latest version of a repository.

An alternative would be to clone the repo but this requires git and git-lfs to be installed and properly configured. It is also not possible to filter which files to download when cloning a repository using git.

files_metadata (bool, optional) — Whether or not to retrieve metadata for files in the repository (size, LFS metadata, etc). Defaults to False.
expand (List[ExpandSpaceProperty_T], optional) — List properties to return in the response. When used, only the properties in the list will be returned. This parameter cannot be used if full is passed. Possible values are "author", "cardData", "createdAt", "datasets", "disabled", "lastModified", "likes", "models", "private", "runtime", "sdk", "siblings", "sha", "subdomain", "tags" and "trendingScore".
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.

Returns

Raises

RepositoryNotFoundError or RevisionNotFoundError or BadRequestError

RepositoryNotFoundError — If repository is not found (error 404): wrong repo_id/repo_type, private but not authenticated or repo does not exist.
RevisionNotFoundError — If the branch to squash cannot be found.
BadRequestError — If invalid reference for a branch. You cannot squash history on tags.

Squash commit history on a branch for a repo on the Hub.

Squashing the repo history is useful when you know you’ll make hundreds of commits and you don’t want to clutter the history. Squashing commits can only be performed from the head of a branch.

Once squashed, the commit history cannot be retrieved. This is a non-revertible operation.

Once the history of a branch has been squashed, it is not possible to merge it back into another branch since their history will have diverged.

Example:

>>> from huggingface_hub import HfApi
>>> api = HfApi()

# Create repo
>>> repo_id = api.create_repo("test-squash").repo_id

# Make a lot of commits.
>>> api.upload_file(repo_id=repo_id, path_in_repo="file.txt", path_or_fileobj=b"content")
>>> api.upload_file(repo_id=repo_id, path_in_repo="lfs.bin", path_or_fileobj=b"content")
>>> api.upload_file(repo_id=repo_id, path_in_repo="file.txt", path_or_fileobj=b"another_content")

# Squash history
>>> api.super_squash_history(repo_id=repo_id)

( repo_id: str token: Union[bool, str, None] = None repo_type: Optional[str] = None )

Parameters

repo_id (str) — The repository to unlike. Example: "user/my-cool-model".
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.
repo_type (str, optional) — Set to "dataset" or "space" if unliking a dataset or space, None or "model" if unliking a model. Default is None.

Raises

RepositoryNotFoundError

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

Unlike a given repo on the Hub (e.g. remove from favorite list).

See also like() and list_liked_repos().

upload_file

( path_or_fileobj: Union[str, Path, bytes, BinaryIO] path_in_repo: str repo_id: str token: Union[str, bool, None] = None repo_type: Optional[str] = None revision: Optional[str] = None commit_message: Optional[str] = None commit_description: Optional[str] = None create_pr: Optional[bool] = None parent_commit: Optional[str] = None run_as_future: bool = False ) → CommitInfo or Future

Parameters

path_or_fileobj (str, Path, bytes, or IO) — Path to a file on the local machine or binary data stream / fileobj / buffer.
path_in_repo (str) — Relative filepath in the repo, for example: "checkpoints/1fec34a/weights.bin"
repo_id (str) — The repository to which the file will be uploaded, for example: "username/custom_transformers"
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.
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.
commit_message (str, optional) — The summary / title / first line of the generated commit
commit_description (str optional) — The description of the generated commit
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.
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.

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.

upload_file 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().

Example:

>>> from huggingface_hub import upload_file

>>> with open("./local/filepath", "rb") as fobj:
...     upload_file(
...         path_or_fileobj=fileobj,
...         path_in_repo="remote/file/path.h5",

Parameters

repo_id (str) — The repository to which the file will be uploaded, for example: "username/custom_transformers"
folder_path (str or Path) — Path to the folder to upload on the local file system
path_in_repo (str, optional) — Relative path of the directory in the repo, for example: "checkpoints/1fec34a/results". Will default to the root folder of the repository.
token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.
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.
commit_message (str, optional) — The summary / title / first line of the generated commit. Defaults to: f"Upload {path_in_repo} with huggingface_hub"
commit_description (str optional) — The description of the generated commit
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.

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.
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.

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().

When dealing with a large folder (thousands of files or hundreds of GB), we recommend using upload_large_folder() instead.

Example:

# Upload checkpoints folder except the log files
>>> upload_folder(
...     folder_path="local/checkpoints",
...     path_in_repo="remote/experiment/checkpoints",
...     repo_id="username/my-dataset",
...     repo_type="datasets",
...     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(
...     folder_path="local/checkpoints",
...     path_in_repo="remote/experiment/checkpoints",
...     repo_id="username/my-dataset",
...     repo_type="datasets",
...     token="my_token",
...     delete_patterns="**/logs/*.txt",
... )
"https://huggingface.co/datasets/username/my-dataset/tree/main/remote/experiment/checkpoints"

# Upload checkpoints folder while creating a PR
>>> upload_folder(
...     folder_path="local/checkpoints",
...     path_in_repo="remote/experiment/checkpoints",
...     repo_id="username/my-dataset",
...     repo_type="datasets",
...     token="my_token",
...     create_pr=True,
... )
"https://huggingface.co/datasets/username/my-dataset/tree/refs%2Fpr%2F1/remote/experiment/checkpoints"

upload_large_folder

( repo_id: str folder_path: Union[str, Path] repo_type: str revision: Optional[str] = None private: Optional[bool] = None allow_patterns: Optional[Union[List[str], str]] = None ignore_patterns: Optional[Union[List[str], str]] = None num_workers: Optional[int] = None print_report: bool = True print_report_every: int = 60 )

Parameters

repo_id (str) — The repository to which the file will be uploaded. E.g. "HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus".
folder_path (str or Path) — Path to the folder to upload on the local file system.
repo_type (str) — Type of the repository. Must be one of "model", "dataset" or "space". Unlike in all other HfApi methods, repo_type is explicitly required here. This is to avoid any mistake when uploading a large folder to the Hub, and therefore prevent from having to re-upload everything.
revision (str, optional) — The branch to commit to. If not provided, the main branch will be used.
private (bool, optional) — Whether the repository should be private. If None (default), the repo will be public unless the organization’s default is private.
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.
num_workers (int, optional) — Number of workers to start. Defaults to os.cpu_count() - 2 (minimum 2). A higher number of workers may speed up the process if your machine allows it. However, on machines with a slower connection, it is recommended to keep the number of workers low to ensure better resumability. Indeed, partially uploaded files will have to be completely re-uploaded if the process is interrupted.
print_report (bool, optional) — Whether to print a report of the upload progress. Defaults to True. Report is printed to sys.stdout every X seconds (60 by defaults) and overwrites the previous report.
print_report_every (int, optional) — Frequency at which the report is printed. Defaults to 60 seconds.

Upload a large folder to the Hub in the most resilient way possible.

Several workers are started to upload files in an optimized way. Before being committed to a repo, files must be hashed and be pre-uploaded if they are LFS files. Workers will perform these tasks for each file in the folder. At each step, some metadata information about the upload process is saved in the folder under .cache/.huggingface/ to be able to resume the process if interrupted. The whole process might result in several commits.

A few things to keep in mind:

Repository limits still apply: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/repositories-recommendations
Do not start several processes in parallel.
You can interrupt and resume the process at any time.
Do not upload the same folder to several repositories. If you need to do so, you must delete the local .cache/.huggingface/ folder first.

While being much more robust to upload large folders, upload_large_folder is more limited than upload_folder() feature-wise. In practice:

you cannot set a custom path_in_repo. If you want to upload to a subfolder, you need to set the proper structure locally.
you cannot set a custom commit_message and commit_description since multiple commits are created.
you cannot delete from the repo while uploading. Please make a separate commit first.
you cannot create a PR directly. Please create a PR first (from the UI or using create_pull_request()) and then commit to it by passing revision.

Technical details:

upload_large_folder process is as follow:

(Check parameters and setup.)
Create repo if missing.
List local files to upload.
Start workers. Workers can perform the following tasks:
- Hash a file.
- Get upload mode (regular or LFS) for a list of files.
- Pre-upload an LFS file.
- Commit a bunch of files. Once a worker finishes a task, it will move on to the next task based on the priority list (see below) until all files are uploaded and committed.
While workers are up, regularly print a report to sys.stdout.

Order of priority:

Commit if more than 5 minutes since last commit attempt (and at least 1 file).
Commit if at least 150 files are ready to commit.
Get upload mode if at least 10 files have been hashed.
Pre-upload LFS file if at least 1 file and no worker is pre-uploading.
Hash file if at least 1 file and no worker is hashing.
Get upload mode if at least 1 file and no worker is getting upload mode.
Pre-upload LFS file if at least 1 file (exception: if hf_transfer is enabled, only 1 worker can preupload LFS at a time).
Hash file if at least 1 file to hash.
Get upload mode if at least 1 file to get upload mode.
Commit if at least 1 file to commit and at least 1 min since last commit attempt.
Commit if at least 1 file to commit and all other queues are empty.

Special rules:

If hf_transfer is enabled, only 1 LFS uploader at a time. Otherwise the CPU would be bloated by hf_transfer.
Only one worker can commit at a time.
If no tasks are available, the worker waits for 10 seconds before checking again.

whoami

Parameters

token (Union[bool, str, None], optional) — A valid user access token (string). Defaults to the locally saved token, which is the recommended method for authentication (see https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/quick-start#authentication). To disable authentication, pass False.

RepoSibling

class huggingface_hub.hf_api.RepoSibling

( rfilename: str size: Optional[int] = None blob_id: Optional[str] = None lfs: Optional[BlobLfsInfo] = None )

Parameters

rfilename (str) — file name, relative to the repo root.
size (int, optional) — The file’s size, in bytes. This attribute is defined when files_metadata argument of repo_info() is set to True. It’s None otherwise.
blob_id (str, optional) — The file’s git OID. This attribute is defined when files_metadata argument of repo_info() is set to True. It’s None otherwise.

Contains basic information about a repo file inside a repo on the Hub.

All attributes of this class are optional except rfilename. This is because only the file names are returned when listing repositories on the Hub (with list_models(), list_datasets() or list_spaces()). If you need more information like file size, blob id or lfs details, you must request them specifically from one repo at a time (using model_info(), dataset_info() or space_info()) as it adds more constraints on the backend server to retrieve these.

Parameters

url (Any) — String value of the repo url.
endpoint (str, optional) — Endpoint of the Hub. Defaults to https://huggingface.co.

Raises

ValueError

ValueError — If URL cannot be parsed.
ValueError — If repo_type is unknown.

Subclass of str describing a repo URL on the Hub.

RepoUrl is returned by HfApi.create_repo. It inherits from str for backward compatibility. At initialization, the URL is parsed to populate properties:

endpoint (str)
namespace (Optional[str])

path_or_fileobj (str, Path, bytes, or BinaryIO) — Either:
- a path to a local file (as str or pathlib.Path) to upload
- a buffer of bytes (bytes) holding the content of the file to upload
- a “file object” (subclass of io.BufferedIOBase), typically obtained with open(path, "rb"). It must support seek() and tell() methods.

Raises

ValueError

ValueError — If path_or_fileobj is not one of str, Path, bytes or io.BufferedIOBase.
ValueError — If path_or_fileobj is a str or Path but not a path to an existing file.
ValueError — If path_or_fileobj is a io.BufferedIOBase but it doesn’t support both seek() and tell().

Data structure holding necessary info to upload a file to a repository on the Hub.

as_file

( with_tqdm: bool = False )

Parameters

with_tqdm (bool, optional, defaults to False) — If True, iterating over the file object will display a progress bar. Only works if the file-like object is a path to a file. Pure bytes and buffers are not supported.

A context manager that yields a file-like object allowing to read the underlying data behind path_or_fileobj.

Example:

>>> operation = CommitOperationAdd(
...        path_in_repo="remote/dir/weights.h5",
...        path_or_fileobj="./local/weights.h5",
... )
CommitOperationAdd(path_in_repo='remote/dir/weights.h5', path_or_fileobj='./local/weights.h5')

>>> with operation.as_file() as file:
...     content = file.read()

>>> with operation.as_file(with_tqdm=True) as file:
...     while True:
...         data = file.read(1024)
...         if not data:
...              break
config.json: 100%|█████████████████████████| 8.19k/8.19k [00:02<00:00, 3.72kB/s]

>>> with operation.as_file(with_tqdm=True) as file:
...     requests.put(..., data=file)
config.json: 100%|█████████████████████████| 8.19k/8.19k [00:02<00:00, 3.72kB/s]

b64content

( )

The base64-encoded content of path_or_fileobj

Returns: bytes

class huggingface_hub.CommitOperationDelete

( path_in_repo: str is_folder: typing.Union[bool, typing.Literal['auto']] = 'auto' )

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.

class huggingface_hub.CommitOperationCopy

( src_path_in_repo: str path_in_repo: str src_revision: typing.Optional[str] = None )

Parameters

src_path_in_repo (str) — Relative filepath in the repo of the file to be copied, e.g. "checkpoints/1fec34a/weights.bin".
path_in_repo (str) — Relative filepath in the repo where to copy the file, e.g. "checkpoints/1fec34a/weights_copy.bin".
src_revision (str, optional) — The git revision of the file to be copied. Can be any valid git revision. Default to the target commit revision.

Data structure holding necessary info to copy a file in a repository on the Hub.

Limitations:

Only LFS files can be copied. To copy a regular file, you need to download it locally and re-upload it
Cross-repository copies are not supported.

Note: you can combine a CommitOperationCopy and a CommitOperationDelete to rename an LFS file on the Hub.

CommitScheduler

class huggingface_hub.CommitScheduler

( repo_id: str folder_path: typing.Union[str, pathlib.Path] every: typing.Union[int, float] = 5 path_in_repo: typing.Optional[str] = None repo_type: typing.Optional[str] = None revision: typing.Optional[str] = None private: typing.Optional[bool] = None token: typing.Optional[str] = None allow_patterns: typing.Union[typing.List[str], str, NoneType] = None ignore_patterns: typing.Union[typing.List[str], str, NoneType] = None squash_history: bool = False hf_api: typing.Optional[ForwardRef('HfApi')] = None )

Parameters

repo_id (str) — The id of the repo to commit to.
folder_path (str or Path) — Path to the local folder to upload regularly.
every (int or float, optional) — The number of minutes between each commit. Defaults to 5 minutes.
path_in_repo (str, optional) — Relative path of the directory in the repo, for example: "checkpoints/". Defaults to the root folder of the repository.
repo_type (str, optional) — The type of the repo to commit to. Defaults to model.
revision (str, optional) — The revision of the repo to commit to. Defaults to main.
private (bool, optional) — Whether to make the repo private. If None (default), the repo will be public unless the organization’s default is private. This value is ignored if the repo already exists.
token (str, optional) — The token to use to commit to the repo. Defaults to the token saved on the machine.
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.
squash_history (bool, optional) — Whether to squash the history of the repo after each commit. Defaults to False. Squashing commits is useful to avoid degraded performances on the repo when it grows too large.
hf_api (HfApi, optional) — The HfApi client to use to commit to the Hub. Can be set with custom settings (user agent, token,…).

Scheduler to upload a local folder to the Hub at regular intervals (e.g. push to hub every 5 minutes).

The recommended way to use the scheduler is to use it as a context manager. This ensures that the scheduler is properly stopped and the last commit is triggered when the script ends. The scheduler can also be stopped manually with the stop method. Checkout the upload guide to learn more about how to use it.

Example:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from huggingface_hub import CommitScheduler

# Scheduler uploads every 10 minutes
>>> csv_path = Path("watched_folder/data.csv")
>>> CommitScheduler(repo_id="test_scheduler", repo_type="dataset", folder_path=csv_path.parent, every=10)

>>> with csv_path.open("a") as f:
...     f.write("first line")

# Some time later (...)
>>> with csv_path.open("a") as f:
...     f.write("second line")

Example using a context manager:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from huggingface_hub import CommitScheduler

>>> with CommitScheduler(repo_id="test_scheduler", repo_type="dataset", folder_path="watched_folder", every=10) as scheduler:
...     csv_path = Path("watched_folder/data.csv")
...     with csv_path.open("a") as f:
...         f.write("first line")
...     (...)
...     with csv_path.open("a") as f:
...         f.write("second line")

# Scheduler is now stopped and last commit have been triggered

push_to_hub

( )

Push folder to the Hub and return the commit info.

This method is not meant to be called directly. It is run in the background by the scheduler, respecting a queue mechanism to avoid concurrent commits. Making a direct call to the method might lead to concurrency issues.

The default behavior of push_to_hub is to assume an append-only folder. It lists all files in the folder and uploads only changed files. If no changes are found, the method returns without committing anything. If you want to change this behavior, you can inherit from CommitScheduler and override this method. This can be useful for example to compress data together in a single file before committing. For more details and examples, check out our integration guide.

stop

( )

Stop the scheduler.

A stopped scheduler cannot be restarted. Mostly for tests purposes.

trigger

( )

Trigger a push_to_hub and return a future.

This method is automatically called every every minutes. You can also call it manually to trigger a commit immediately, without waiting for the next scheduled commit.
