Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if a list of all collections can be retrieved either using the Hub client library or an API endpoint? Also, I couldn’t find the way of getting the collection of a specific repository. I’ve checked the managing collection docs (I think the links of the right side don’t work, if anyone could check it), but it only gives info about retrieving a collection knowing its name.
Thank you,
Adem
if a list of all collections can be retrieved either using the Hub client library or an API endpoint?
Yes it is possible, yet not officially documented using https://huggingface.co/api/collections.
Results are paginated so if you want to get all collections, you will have to follow the “Link” (ref=next) header. If you use Python, you can access it with response.links["next"] or use huggingface_hub.utils.paginate.
There are a few parameters you can use, including:
limit to limit the number of resultsitem (string list) to filter collections that contain a given item. Example: https://huggingface.co/api/collections?item=models/gpt2 returns all collections listing gpt2owner (string list). Example: collection from TheBloke https://huggingface.co/api/collections?owner=TheBlokesort to sort collections by "trending" (default order), "upvotes" or "lastModified"None of this is integrated in huggingface_hub yet but you use them already.
EDIT: I created an issue in huggingface_hub: API to list Collections · Issue #1835 · huggingface/huggingface_hub · GitHub
Not sure how you ended up with this URL indeed 
The correct URL should be Managing collections (and for me it worked well by clicking on the side bar on the right).
Hi @Wauplin , right know I don’t remember though. However, the link you shared worked for me. I’ll check the issue too, thanks for addressing the topic!
