🤗 Dataset viewer

The dataset viewer is a lightweight web API for visualizing and exploring all types of datasets - computer vision, speech, text, and tabular - stored on the Hugging Face Hub.

The main feature of the dataset viewer is to auto-convert all the Hub datasets to Parquet. Read more in the Parquet section.

As datasets increase in size and data type richness, the cost of preprocessing (storage and compute) these datasets can be challenging and time-consuming. To help users access these modern datasets, The dataset viewer runs a server behind the scenes to generate the API responses ahead of time and stores them in a database so they are instantly returned when you make a query through the API.

Let the dataset viewer take care of the heavy lifting so you can use a simple REST API on any of the 30,000+ datasets on Hugging Face to:
