Just FYI, this appears to be causing widespread issues with the embedded dataset viewer on all Hugging Face datasets. The error message seems to line up with the error message from the API endpoint that @a4n9i shows above:

{

- **error** : “Unexpected token ‘\<’, “  
\<h”… is not valid JSON”

}

[List Parquet files · Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/docs/dataset-viewer/parquet#using-the-hugging-face-hub-api)

Still facing the same issue , it is 503 error. And it does not give any json data.  
I am talking about parquet dataset api which is for the dataset of `refs/convert/parquet`. This is documented [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/dataset-viewer/parquet#using-the-hugging-face-hub-api).

You can check by running this

```auto
/static-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatasets-server.huggingface.co%2Fparquet%3Fdataset%3Dibm-research%2Fduorc

```

Earlier when i run this link i was getting the json data. But now it is showing the 503 error.

Please solve this issue.

Earlier whatever dataset was on huggingface in the `main` branch they gets converted into parquet and save into the `refs/convert/parquet` branch.

If huggingface made some changes to fetch this please specify..

Hi ! Thanks for the ping, yes we are aware of the issue and actively working on it. It’s taking some time though since we want to make sure it will be 100% back and for good

Oh, I just woke up now. Since lhoestq is aware of the problem, we’re fine now. All we have to do is wait…😅  
Thanks, everyone, as always.
