Proxy Configuration

The script requires an HTTP proxy to access Hugging Face API (network restrictions).

Use the -p flag:

CODEBLOCK5

For most WSL2 environments with v2rayN:

• - Proxy URL: INLINECODE7
• Or use dynamic IP: INLINECODE8

Troubleshooting

Network Errors

Problem: "Network is unreachable" or connection errors

Solution: Ensure proxy is specified with -p flag:
CODEBLOCK11

Check if v2rayN proxy is running on Windows.

Empty Results

Problem: "No models found"

Solution: Try different filters or increase limit:

Technical Notes

• - API Limitation: Hugging Face's public API doesn't provide a dedicated trending endpoint without authentication. The script fetches recent models and sorts by popularity metrics.
• Proxy Requirement: Due to network restrictions, all requests must go through a proxy. The script supports HTTP proxy configuration.
• Rate Limits: The public API has rate limits. Avoid making too many requests in quick succession.
• Data Freshness: Models are fetched from the Hugging Face API. Recent changes may take time to reflect.
