# 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.
- Gated/private datasets require `Authorization: Bearer <HF_TOKEN>`.

## Dataset Viewer

- `Validate dataset`: `/is-valid?dataset=<namespace/repo>`
