Tips
- Use
sort="trendingScore"to find what's popular now - Use
sort="downloads"to find battle-tested options - Set
mcp=trueinspace_searchto find Spaces usable as tools - Use
include_readme=trueinhub_repo_detailsfor full model/dataset documentation - For jobs accessing private repos, always include
secrets: {"HF_TOKEN": "$HF_TOKEN"} - Use
dynamic_space(operation="discover")to see all available Space-based tasks
