HuggingFace Daily Papers API
Trending AI/ML papers from HuggingFace Daily Papers as structured JSON - title, link, and community upvotes.
What this feed does
HuggingFace's Daily Papers is the community-voted ranking of what matters in AI/ML research today - and it has no official bulk API. This feed scrapes the live page and returns each trending paper as structured JSON with its upvote count.
Structured, not scraped-by-you
Clean JSON with stable field names - no HTML parsing, no selectors to maintain when the site changes.
Pay only for what you pull
No subscription. $0.01 per record via Apify's metered billing; a typical pull is cents.
Human + agent ready
Call it from cURL, Python, or JS - or hand it to an AI agent as an MCP tool.
Always the latest
Scraped from the official source on every run, so you never ship stale data.
What each record contains
Every result is a JSON object with these fields.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
title | string | Paper title. |
upvotes | string | Community upvote count at scrape time. |
url | string, URL | Link to the paper page on huggingface.co. |
