Scrape AI/ML models from HuggingFace — the world's largest repository of open-source machine learning models.

Extracts structured data including model ID, download counts, likes, task type (pipeline tag), ML library, tags, gated status, and timestamps. Powered by the official HuggingFace API — no web scraping, no rate-limit surprises.

What it does

  • Fetches models from the HuggingFace public API with full metadata
  • Supports filtering by keyword search, author/organization, task type, and library
  • Supports sorting by downloads, likes, or date
  • Paginates automatically up to your specified limit (up to 10,000 models)

Use cases

  • AI research: Track which models are trending by downloads or likes
  • Competitive intelligence: Monitor what models a specific organization has published
  • Dataset building: Collect model metadata for ML benchmarks or surveys
  • Lead generation: Find organizations actively publishing models in your domain
  • Content & newsletters: Curate the most popular or newest models by task type

Input

One record per model saved to the default dataset.

Features

  • Official API — Uses the HuggingFace REST API directly; no fragile HTML parsing
  • Automatic pagination — Fetches all pages until your limit is reached
  • Polite rate limiting — 500ms delay between API calls
  • Robust input validation — Clear error messages for invalid inputs

Notes

  • Results are limited to public models only; private models are not accessible
  • The gated field indicates whether a model requires access approval from the author
  • HuggingFace API does not support combining search with all sort orders equally; downloads sort works best for broad searches
  • Download counts are 30-day rolling totals as reported by HuggingFace
