Running huggingface-cli from script

Intermediate
1

I am using startup scripts on my TPU, and need to authenticate for access to my datasets with “huggingface-cli cli” as part of the script.

Typically something like this should work:
printf "myaccesstoken\n" | huggingface-cli login

However, this does not work. Any idea how to authenticate as part of a batch script?

You can probably just call HfFolder.save_token() which will save your token to ~/.huggingface/token

Let us know if it worked (also cc @lysandre)

Great. Thanks. This seems to work perfectly in my bash script:

python -c “from huggingface_hub.hf_api import HfFolder; HfFolder.save_token(‘my_token’)”
