Write a "Gradio Client Library Guidelines" document to explain how to implement a client in language agnostic terms.

Hello. How to interface with huggingface spaces from rust language? I have searched the web but couldn't find any solution. Thank you.

Not yet - would you like to write one? 😄 I actually had a thought about this earlier this week.

@freddyaboulton well, haha, if serious, is it difficult to write one? or the api is simple enough?

[denizsincar29]

@freddyaboulton well, if serious, how to interract via rest api or other ways?

Sorry I thought I had responded to this. I think we should write a "Gradio Client Library Guidelines" document to explain how to implement a client in language agnostic terms.

The main things are:

• A function/method for displaying the api info in a suitable manner for the target language. Python's view_api method.
• Uploading files to the server ahead of the prediction.
• A blocking and non-blocking way to submit a prediction predict vs submit

Internally the client would stream results from the sse endpoint. See the python function here

Hello, I've made the Gradio client in Rust according to @freddyaboulton's guidelines. I've tested it with some HuggingFace Spaces such as stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3-medium and hf-audio/whisper-large-v3. I would like other Rust developers to test it out and give some feedbacks!

Wow very cool! Would love to amplify in our socials if that's ok
