# Hugging Face Dataset Statistics API

Per-column statistics for one split, with the type of each statistic and how many rows were counted.

`GET /v1/hugging-face/datasets/{owner}/{name}/statistics` returns `available`, `config`, `split`, `numExamples`, `isPartial` and `columns`. When statistics exist, each column has `name`, `type` (`int`, `float`, `string_label`, `string_text`, `class_label`, `bool` and more) and `statistics`.

The shape of `statistics` depends on the type: counts, minimum, maximum and mean for numbers, histogram or label frequencies for categorical data, and text summaries for free text. Choose `config` and `split` from the row facts endpoint; a name the dataset does not have is refused with a 400. `available: false` means the platform did not compute statistics for that split.

## FAQ

### Why is available false?

The platform did not compute statistics for this split. That is a final answer, not a missing page, and columns is empty.

### What does numExamples count?

The rows that were counted. isPartial tells you when only part of the split was counted.

### How do I get statistics for another split?

Pass config and split from the row facts endpoint. Without them the dataset's first subset and split are used.

### How much does a statistics lookup cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.
