Preview Dataset From Hub

Changed on

Preview a dataset from HuggingFace Hub without saving it.

Fetches the dataset and returns a preview (first 50 rows, schema, metadata) for user review before confirming the import.

User-authenticated requests require hf_token. Sandbox run keys omit it and import public repos anonymously. Gated or private repos must be imported in the Fastino UI with a user token.
