+# Hugging Face
+
+## Scanning datasets from Huggging Face
+
+All cloud-enabled scan functions also transparently support scanning from Hugging Face:
+
+- [scan_parquet](https://docs.pola.rs/api/python/stable/reference/api/polars.scan_parquet.html)
+- [scan_csv](https://docs.pola.rs/api/python/stable/reference/api/polars.scan_csv.html)
+- [scan_ipc](https://docs.pola.rs/api/python/stable/reference/api/polars.scan_ipc.html)
+- [scan_ndjson](https://docs.pola.rs/api/python/stable/reference/api/polars.scan_ndjson.html)
+
+### Path format
+
+To scan from Hugging Face, a `hf://` path can be passed to the scan functions. The `hf://` path format is defined as `hf://BUCKET/REPOSITORY@REVISION/PATH`, where:
+
+- `BUCKET` is one of `datasets` or `spaces`
+- `REPOSITORY` is the location of the repository, this is usually in the format of `username/repo_name`. A branch can also be optionally specified by appending `@branch`
+- `REVISION` is the name of the branch (or commit) to use. This is optional and defaults to `main` if not given.
+- `PATH` is a file or directory path, or a glob pattern from the repository root.
+
+Example `hf://` paths:
+
+| Path                                                  | Path components                                                                                                                                                                                |

+
+### Authentication
+
+A Hugging Face API key can be passed to Polars to access private locations using either of the following methods:
+
+- Passing a `token` in `storage_options` to the scan function, e.g. `scan_parquet(..., storage_options={'token': '<your HF token>'})`
+- Setting the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable, e.g. `export HF_TOKEN=<your HF token>`
