Is it possible to list all tasks from hfapi like object detection etc.
And then search for the top 50 downloaded models for each task? thanks 🙂

Hi @Rodas96, I don’t think there is a built-in way to to list all tasks using `HfApi`. However, you can call [https://huggingface.co/api/tasks](https://huggingface.co/api/tasks) which is the JSON equivalent of this page ([Tasks - Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/tasks)) on which we maintain a list of tasks with documentation, examples and suggested models for each task.
Once you’ve retrieved this list of tasks, you can search for the top downloaded models using [list\_models](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/en/package_reference/hf_api#huggingface_hub.HfApi.list_models). The output is a generator looping through the models returned by the server.
```py
from huggingface_hub import list_models
for model in list_models(limit=10, sort="downloads", direction=-1, filter="object-detection"):
print(model.id, model.downloads)
```
