Overview

About

Maintained by Alex FarachFirst published 2026-07-011 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Access models and datasets hosted on the 'Hugging Face' Hub through its Inference Application Programming Interface (API). Run text classification, embeddings, chat, translation, image, audio, and other tasks from tidy 'R' workflows without installing 'Python' by default. Results are returned as data frames or simple 'R' objects so they can be composed with 'dplyr', 'tidyr', and related tooling. Helpers also support Hub search, file download, provider discovery, and guarded uploads for authenticated workflows.
