Tips

  • Use sort="trendingScore" to find what's popular now
  • Use sort="downloads" to find battle-tested options
  • Set mcp=true in space_search to find Spaces usable as tools
  • Use include_readme=true in hub_repo_details for full model/dataset documentation
  • For jobs accessing private repos, always include secrets: {"HF_TOKEN": "$HF_TOKEN"}
  • Use dynamic_space(operation="discover") to see all available Space-based tasks
