The `spaces` library (version 0.48.2) provides utilities for interacting with Hugging Face Spaces. It largely acts as a thin wrapper around the `huggingface_hub` library, which provides the core API for managing Spaces. As of late 2023, its development appears stalled, with most new Spaces features and ongoing maintenance occurring directly within `huggingface_hub`.
pip install spacesVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Demonstrates how to initialize the Hugging Face API client using the `spaces` library and list your Hugging Face Spaces. It highlights the use of an `HF_TOKEN` for authentication.
For up-to-date and complete Spaces API functionality, install and use `huggingface_hub` directly (`pip install huggingface_hub`), referring to its documentation.
Transition existing code to use `huggingface_hub`'s `HfApi` and related classes (e.g., `from huggingface_hub import HfApi, Space, Volume`) for robust and future-proof Space management.
Consult the `huggingface_hub` changelog for recent updates related to Spaces features. Do not expect `spaces` (0.x) to contain features from `huggingface_hub` `1.x` releases.
