What this skill does
Hugging Face Dataset Viewer Use this skill to execute read-only Dataset Viewer API calls for dataset exploration and extraction. Core workflow 1. Optionally validate dataset availability with /is-valid. 2. Resolve config + split with /splits. 3. Preview with /first-rows. 4. Paginate content with /rows using offset and length (max 100). 5. Use /search for text matching and /filter for row predicates. 6. Retrieve parquet links via /parquet and totals/metadata via /size and /statistics. Defaults Base URL: https://datasets-server.huggingface.co Default API method: GET Query params should be URL-encoded. offset is 0-based. length max is usually 100 for row-like endpoints.

Dataset Viewer Validate dataset: /is-valid?dataset=<namespace/repo> List subsets and splits: /splits?dataset=<namespace/repo> Preview first rows: /first-rows?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split> Paginate rows: /rows?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>&offset=<int>&length=<int> Search text: /search?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>&query=<text>&offset=<int>&length=<int> Filter with predicates: /filter?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>&where=<predicate>&orderby=<sort>&offset=<int>&length=<int> List parquet shards: /parquet?dataset=<namespace/repo> Get size totals: /size?dataset=<namespace/repo> Get column statistics: /statistics?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split> Get Croissant metadata (if available): /croissant?dataset=<namespace/repo> Pagination pattern: When pagination is partial, use response fields such as numrowstotal, numrowsperpage, and partial to drive continuation logic. Search/filter notes: /search matches string columns (full-text style behavior is internal to the API). /filter requires predicate syntax in where and optional sort in orderby. Keep filtering and searches read-only and side-effect free. …
