How to get all hugging face models list using python?

You can use huggingface_hub with list_models and it's filter attribute to query the hub:

from huggingface_hub import HfApi
api = HfApi()
models = api.list_models(    
    filter="automatic-speech-recognition"

)
models = list(models)
print(len(models))
print(models[0].modelId)

Output:

26126
nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3

filter takes either a string or a list of strings and is used to find matches with library, language, task or tags specified by the models on the huggingface hub.

In case you are using huggingface_hub <0.24.0, you can pass a ModelFilter object as filter argument:

from huggingface_hub import HfApi, ModelFilter
api = HfApi()
models = api.list_models(
    filter=ModelFilter(
        task="automatic-speech-recognition"
    )
)
models = list(models)
print(len(models))
print(models[0].modelId)

Output:

7195
13048909972/wav2vec2-common_voice-tr-demo

Try something like:

import re

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


def list_models(task, sort_by):
  """Returns first page of results from available models on huggingface.co"""
  url = f"https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag={task}&sort={sort_by}"

  response = requests.get(url)
  soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content.decode('utf8'))

  for model in soup.find_all('article'):
    parsed_text = [line.strip() for line in re.sub(' +', ' ', model.text.replace('\n', ' ').replace('\t', ' ').replace('•', '\n')).strip().split('\n')]
    model_name_str, last_updated_str, downloaded, *liked = parsed_text
    liked = int(liked[0]) if liked else 0

    model_name = model.find('a').attrs['href'][1:]
    timestamp = model.find('time').attrs['datetime']
    yield {"model_name": model_name, "last_updated": timestamp, "downloaded": downloaded.strip(), "liked": liked}



task = "automatic-speech-recognition"
sort_by = "downloads"

list(list_models(task, sort_by))

Also posted a feature request on https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/feature-request-listing-available-models-datasets-and-metrics/34389

In the latest version of the library huggingface-hub, the ModelFilterhas been deprecated and removed.

So, the modern recommended approach is to pass filter parameters directly to api.list_models(...) instead of using ModelFilter.

For example:

from huggingface_hub import HfApi

api = HfApi()
models = api.list_models(
    task="automatic-speech-recognition",  # Filter by task directly
    author="openai",                      # Optional: filter by author
    library="transformers",               # Optional: filter by library
    limit=10                              # Optional: limit results
)
models = list(models)
print(len(models), models[0].modelId)

output:

10 openai/whisper-large-v3
