# Hugging Face Kernels API

Search compute kernels by id or owner, with driver support, downloads and publisher trust.

`GET /v1/hugging-face/kernels` returns a page of `kernels` and a `page` block. Filter with `query` for an id substring or `author` for the owner, then set `limit` up to 1000 and continue with `cursor`.

Each kernel has `id`, `uid`, `url`, `author`, `createdAt`, `lastModified`, `likes`, `downloads`, `trendingScore`, `sha`, `tags`, `supportedDriverFamilies` and `trustedPublisher`. The endpoint pages by offset, so its cursor is minted by this API rather than the platform.

## FAQ

### What are kernels used for?

They are repositories of GPU compute kernels. The record lists the driver families the kernel supports and whether the publisher is trusted.

### Can I list one author's kernels?

Yes. Pass author as the account name.

### How do I page through kernels?

Send page.nextCursor as cursor while page.hasMore is true. The cursor is an offset this API mints, so one from another list is refused.

### How much does a kernel page 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. Each paginated page is a separate billed request.
