List all tasks from hfapi

[Rodas96]

Is it possible to list all tasks from hfapi like object detection etc.

And then search for the top 50 downloaded models for each task? thanks

Hi @Rodas96, I don’t think there is a built-in way to to list all tasks using HfApi. However, you can call https://huggingface.co/api/tasks which is the JSON equivalent of this page (Tasks - Hugging Face) on which we maintain a list of tasks with documentation, examples and suggested models for each task.

Once you’ve retrieved this list of tasks, you can search for the top downloaded models using list_models. The output is a generator looping through the models returned by the server.

from huggingface_hub import list_models

for model in list_models(limit=10, sort="downloads", direction=-1, filter="object-detection"):
    print(model.id, model.downloads)
