Hugging Face Models Scraper

Search the public Hugging Face Hub through its JSON API and export AI model metadata as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Cursor pagination, task filtering, and deterministic sorting make it useful for repeatable model-market research without browser compute.

What you get

  • Model ID, author, canonical URL, task, library, license, tags, and repository hash
  • Downloads, likes, created and modified timestamps, gated status, and public/private flag
  • Up to 100 filenames plus the complete file count for packaging and format analysis
  • Query provenance, cross-query deduplication, and cursor pagination in 256 MB

Output fields

Common fields are modelId, author, url, pipelineTag, library, license, downloads, likes, gated, private, sha, createdAt, lastModified, tags, files, filesCount, searchQuery, and source.

Example output

{"modelId":"meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct","pipelineTag":"text-generation","library":"transformers","downloads":1000000,"likes":5000,"gated":"manual","url":"https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct"}

Input parameters

ParameterDescription
queriesPublic Hub model search terms.
pipelineTagOptional task filter such as text-generation or text-to-image.
sortDownloads, likes, recently modified, or recently created.
maxResultsPerQueryMaximum public models saved per query.
maxResultsMaximum unique public models saved across all queries.

Use cases

AI model discovery, open-source intelligence, license screening, model adoption tracking, inference-platform planning, competitor research, task coverage maps, model-format analysis, and scheduled ecosystem monitoring.

Limitations

Search ranking and download counts are supplied by Hugging Face and can change. Gated metadata can be public even when weights require acceptance; this Actor never bypasses gating or downloads model weights. File lists are capped at 100 names per row while filesCount preserves the total.

Compared to alternatives

Thirdwatch uses the public Hub API and cursor links, includes license and file intelligence, and charges $0.002 at the base tier versus $0.005 on the leading observed competitor. Start with the Hugging Face Models Scraper, browse all Thirdwatch Actors, or read the Hugging Face model-data guide.

FAQ

Does it download models? No. It exports public Hub metadata and evidence URLs only.
