🤗 Datasets Server

Datasets Server is a lightweight web API for visualizing and exploring all types of datasets - computer vision, speech, text, and tabular - stored on the Model Database Hub. As datasets increase in size and data type richness, the cost of preprocessing (storage and compute) these datasets can be challenging and time-consuming. To help users access these modern datasets, Datasets Server runs a server behind the scenes to generate the API responses ahead of time and stores them in a database so they are instantly returned when you make a query through the API.

Let Datasets Server take care of the heavy lifting so you can use a simple REST API on any of the 30,000+ datasets on Model Database to:

• List the dataset splits, column names and data types
• Get the dataset size (in number of rows or bytes)
• Download and view rows at any index in the dataset
• Search a word in the dataset
• Get insightful statistics about the data
• Access the dataset as parquet files to use in your favorite processing or analytics framework
