# Hugging Face Dataset Viewer

## When to Use

Use this skill when you need read-only exploration of a Hugging Face dataset through the Dataset Viewer API.


Use this skill to execute read-only Dataset Viewer API calls for dataset exploration and extraction.



## Core workflow



1. Optionally validate dataset availability with `/is-valid`.

2. Resolve `config` + `split` with `/splits`.

3. Preview with `/first-rows`.

4. Paginate content with `/rows` using `offset` and `length` (max 100).

5. Use `/search` for text matching and `/filter` for row predicates.

6. Retrieve parquet links via `/parquet` and totals/metadata via `/size` and `/statistics`.



## Defaults



- Base URL: `https://datasets-server.huggingface.co`

- Default API method: `GET`

- Query params should be URL-encoded.

- `offset` is 0-based.

- `length` max is usually `100` for row-like endpoints.

- Gated/private datasets require `Authorization: Bearer <HF_TOKEN>`.



## Dataset Viewer



- `Validate dataset`: `/is-valid?dataset=<namespace/repo>`

- `List subsets and splits`: `/splits?dataset=<namespace/repo>`

- `Preview first rows`: `/first-rows?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>`

- `Paginate rows`: `/rows?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>&offset=<int>&length=<int>`

- `Search text`: `/search?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>&query=<text>&offset=<int>&length=<int>`

- `Filter with predicates`: `/filter?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>&where=<predicate>&orderby=<sort>&offset=<int>&length=<int>`

- `List parquet shards`: `/parquet?dataset=<namespace/repo>`

- `Get size totals`: `/size?dataset=<namespace/repo>`

- `Get column statistics`: `/statistics?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>`

- `Get Croissant metadata (if available)`: `/croissant?dataset=<namespace/repo>`



Pagination pattern:



```bash

curl "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/rows?dataset=stanfordnlp/imdb&config=plain_text&split=train&offset=0&length=100"

curl "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/rows?dataset=stanfordnlp/imdb&config=plain_text&split=train&offset=100&length=100"

```



When pagination is partial, use response fields such as `num_rows_total`, `num_rows_per_page`, and `partial` to drive continuation logic.



Search/filter notes:



- `/search` matches string columns (full-text style behavior is internal to the API).

- `/filter` requires predicate syntax in `where` and optional sort in `orderby`.

- Keep filtering and searches read-only and side-effect free.



## Querying Datasets



Use `npx parquetlens` with Hub parquet alias paths for SQL querying.



Parquet alias shape:



```text

hf://datasets/<namespace>/<repo>@~parquet/<config>/<split>/<shard>.parquet

```



Derive `<config>`, `<split>`, and `<shard>` from Dataset Viewer `/parquet`:



```bash

curl -s "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/parquet?dataset=cfahlgren1/hub-stats" \

  | jq -r '.parquet_files[] | "hf://datasets/\(.dataset)@~parquet/\(.config)/\(.split)/\(.filename)"'

```



Run SQL query:



```bash

npx -y -p parquetlens -p @parquetlens/sql parquetlens \

  "hf://datasets/<namespace>/<repo>@~parquet/<config>/<split>/<shard>.parquet" \

  --sql "SELECT * FROM data LIMIT 20"

```



### SQL export



- CSV: `--sql "COPY (SELECT * FROM data LIMIT 1000) TO 'export.csv' (FORMAT CSV, HEADER, DELIMITER ',')"`

- JSON: `--sql "COPY (SELECT * FROM data LIMIT 1000) TO 'export.json' (FORMAT JSON)"`

- Parquet: `--sql "COPY (SELECT * FROM data LIMIT 1000) TO 'export.parquet' (FORMAT PARQUET)"`



## Creating and Uploading Datasets



Use one of these flows depending on dependency constraints.



Zero local dependencies (Hub UI):



- Create dataset repo in browser: `https://huggingface.co/new-dataset`

- Upload parquet files in the repo "Files and versions" page.

- Verify shards appear in Dataset Viewer:



```bash

curl -s "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/parquet?dataset=<namespace>/<repo>"

```



Low dependency CLI flow (`npx @huggingface/hub` / `hfjs`):



- Set auth token:



```bash

export HF_TOKEN=<your_hf_token>

```



- Upload parquet folder to a dataset repo (auto-creates repo if missing):



```bash

npx -y @huggingface/hub upload datasets/<namespace>/<repo> ./local/parquet-folder data

```



- Upload as private repo on creation:



```bash

npx -y @huggingface/hub upload datasets/<namespace>/<repo> ./local/parquet-folder data --private

```



After upload, call `/parquet` to discover `<config>/<split>/<shard>` values for querying with `@~parquet`.
