Guides
Task-oriented walkthroughs for the things people do with hf.
Each guide is built around a job rather than a command. They assume you have run the quick start.
- Walk the graph — URIs, edges, and crawling the hub as a knowledge graph.
- Export linked data — RDF, JSON-LD, and Croissant out of that graph.
- Read a dataset — splits, schemas, statistics, rows, search, and filter, from the dataset viewer.
- Read what the API will not tell you — the page plane and what
--deepadds. - Resource URIs — use
hfas adatabase/sql-style driver so a host can address the hub ashf://URIs. - Add a command — declare an operation once and get a command, a route, an MCP tool, and a URI type.
Walk the graph
How hf turns the hub into nodes and edges, and how to crawl them.
Export linked data
RDF, JSON-LD, and Croissant out of the hub.
Read a dataset
Splits, schemas, statistics, and rows, from the dataset viewer.
Read what the API will not tell you
The page plane, --deep, and hf page.
Resource URIs
Use hf as a database/sql-style driver so a host program can address the hub as hf:// URIs.
Add a command
Declare an operation once and get a command, a route, an MCP tool, and a URI type.
