# Kohaku Hub API Documentation

*Last Updated: January 2025*

This document explains how Kohaku Hub's API works, the data flow, and key endpoints.

## System Architecture

```mermaid
graph TB
    subgraph "Client Layer"
        Client["Client<br/>(huggingface_hub, git, browser)"]
    end

    subgraph "Entry Point"
        Nginx["Nginx (Port 28080)<br/>- Serves static files<br/>- Reverse proxy"]
    end

    subgraph "Application Layer"
        FastAPI["FastAPI (Port 48888)<br/>- Auth & Permissions<br/>- HF-compatible API<br/>- Git Smart HTTP"]
    end

    subgraph "Storage Backend"
        LakeFS["LakeFS<br/>- Git-like versioning<br/>- Branch management<br/>- Commit history"]
        DB["PostgreSQL/SQLite<br/>- User data<br/>- Metadata<br/>- Deduplication<br/>- Synchronous with db.atomic()"]
        S3["MinIO/S3<br/>- Object storage<br/>- LFS files<br/>- Presigned URLs"]
    end

    Client -->|HTTP/Git/LFS| Nginx
    Nginx -->|Static files| Client
    Nginx -->|/api, /org, resolve| FastAPI
    FastAPI -->|REST API (async)| LakeFS
    FastAPI -->|Sync queries with db.atomic()| DB
    FastAPI -->|Async wrappers| S3
    LakeFS -->|Stores objects| S3

```

## Core Concepts

### File Size Thresholds

```mermaid
graph TD
    Start[File Upload] --> Check{File size > 5MB?}
    Check -->|No| Regular[Regular Mode]
    Check -->|Yes| LFS[LFS Mode]
    Regular --> Base64[Base64 in commit payload]
    LFS --> Presigned[S3 presigned URL]
    Base64 --> FastAPI[FastAPI processes]
    Presigned --> Direct[Direct S3 upload]
    FastAPI --> LakeFS1[LakeFS stores object]
    Direct --> Link[FastAPI links S3 object]
    Link --> LakeFS2[LakeFS commit with physical address]

```

**Note:** The LFS threshold is configurable via `KOHAKU_HUB_LFS_THRESHOLD_BYTES` (default: 5MB = 5,242,880 bytes).

### Storage Layout

```
S3 Bucket Structure:

s3://hub-storage/
  │
  ├── hf-model-org-repo/        ← LakeFS managed repository
  │   └── main/                 ← Branch
  │       ├── config.json
  │       └── model.safetensors
  │
  └── lfs/                      ← LFS objects (content-addressable)
      └── ab/                   ← First 2 chars of SHA256
          └── cd/               ← Next 2 chars
              └── abcd1234...   ← Full SHA256 hash
```

## Git Clone Support

### Overview

KohakuHub supports native Git clone operations using **pure Python implementation** (no pygit2/libgit2).

**Git URL Format:**
```
http://hub.example.com/{namespace}/{repo-name}.git
```

**Git Endpoints:**
- `GET /{namespace}/{name}.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack` - Service advertisement
- `POST /{namespace}/{name}.git/git-upload-pack` - Clone/fetch/pull
- `GET /{namespace}/{name}.git/HEAD` - Get HEAD reference
- `POST /{namespace}/{name}.git/git-receive-pack` - Push (in progress)

### LFS Integration

**Automatic LFS Pointers:**
- Files **<1MB**: Included in Git pack as regular blobs
- Files **>=1MB**: Converted to LFS pointers (100-byte text files)

**LFS Pointer Format:**
```
version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1
oid sha256:abc123...
size 10737418240
```

**Client Workflow:**
```bash
# 1. Clone (gets pointers for large files)
git clone http://hub.example.com/org/repo.git

# 2. Download large files via LFS
cd repo
git lfs install
git lfs pull  # Uses existing /info/lfs/ endpoints
```

**Benefits:**
- Fast clones (only metadata + small files)
- No memory issues (LFS pointers are tiny)
- Leverages existing HuggingFace LFS infrastructure
- Pure Python (no native dependencies)

See [Git.md](./Git.md) for complete Git clone documentation and implementation details.

## Upload Workflow

### Overview

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant Client
    participant API as FastAPI
    participant LakeFS
    participant S3

    Note over Client,S3: Phase 1: Preupload Check
    Client->>API: POST /preupload (file hashes & sizes)
    API->>API: Check DB for existing SHA256
    API-->>Client: Upload mode (regular/lfs) & dedup info

    alt Small Files (<5MB)
        Note over Client,S3: Phase 2a: Regular Upload
        Client->>API: POST /commit (base64 content)
        API->>LakeFS: Upload object
        LakeFS->>S3: Store object
    else Large Files (>=5MB)
        Note over Client,S3: Phase 2b: LFS Upload
        Client->>API: POST /info/lfs/objects/batch
        API->>S3: Generate presigned URL
        API-->>Client: Presigned URL
        Client->>S3: PUT file (direct upload)
        Client->>API: POST /commit (lfsFile entry)
        API->>LakeFS: Link physical address
    end

    Note over Client,S3: Phase 3: Commit
    API->>LakeFS: Commit with message
    LakeFS-->>API: Commit ID
    API-->>Client: Commit URL & OID
```

### Step 1: Preupload Check

**Purpose**: Determine upload mode and check for duplicates

**Endpoint**: `POST /api/{repo_type}s/{repo_id}/preupload/{revision}`

**Request**:
```json
{
  "files": [
    {
      "path": "config.json",
      "size": 1024,
      "sha256": "abc123..."
    },
    {
      "path": "model.bin",
      "size": 52428800,
      "sha256": "def456..."
    }
  ]
}
```

**Response**:
```json
{
  "files": [
    {
      "path": "config.json",
      "uploadMode": "regular",
      "shouldIgnore": false
    },
    {
      "path": "model.bin",
      "uploadMode": "lfs",
      "shouldIgnore": true    // Already exists!
    }
  ]
}
```

**Decision Logic**:
```
For each file:
  1. Check size:
     - ≤ 5MB → "regular"
     - > 5MB → "lfs"

  2. Check if exists (deduplication):
     - Query DB for matching SHA256 + size
     - If match found → shouldIgnore: true
     - If no match → shouldIgnore: false
```

### Step 2a: Regular Upload (≤5MB)

Files are sent inline in the commit payload as base64.

```
┌────────┐                    ┌────────┐
│ Client │───── base64 ──────>│ Commit │
└────────┘    (embedded)      └────────┘
```

**No separate upload step needed** - proceed directly to Step 3.

### Step 2b: LFS Upload (>5MB)

#### Phase 1: Request Upload URLs

**Endpoint**: `POST /{repo_id}.git/info/lfs/objects/batch`

**Request**:
```json
{
  "operation": "upload",
  "transfers": ["basic", "multipart"],
  "objects": [
    {
      "oid": "sha256_hash",
      "size": 52428800
    }
  ]
}
```

**Response** (if file needs upload):
```json
{
  "transfer": "basic",
  "objects": [
    {
      "oid": "sha256_hash",
      "size": 52428800,
      "actions": {
        "upload": {
          "href": "https://s3.../presigned_url",
          "expires_at": "2025-10-02T00:00:00Z"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

**Response** (if file already exists):
```json
{
  "transfer": "basic",
  "objects": [
    {
      "oid": "sha256_hash",
      "size": 52428800
      // No "actions" field = already exists
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Phase 2: Upload to S3

```
┌────────┐                       ┌─────────┐
│ Client │---- PUT file -------->│   S3    │
└────────┘   (presigned URL)     └─────────┘
              Direct upload       lfs/ab/cd/
              (no proxy!)         abcd123...
```

**Key Point**: Client uploads directly to S3 using the presigned URL. Kohaku Hub server is NOT involved in data transfer.

### Step 3: Commit

**Purpose**: Atomically commit all changes to the repository

**Endpoint**: `POST /api/{repo_type}s/{repo_id}/commit/{revision}`

**Format**: NDJSON (Newline-Delimited JSON)

**Example Payload**:
```
{"key":"header","value":{"summary":"Add model files","description":"Initial upload"}}
{"key":"file","value":{"path":"config.json","content":"eyJtb2RlbCI6...","encoding":"base64"}}
{"key":"lfsFile","value":{"path":"model.bin","algo":"sha256","oid":"abc123...","size":52428800}}
{"key":"deletedFile","value":{"path":"old_config.json"}}
```

**Operation Types**:

| Key | Description | Usage |
|-----|-------------|-------|
| `header` | Commit metadata | Required, must be first line |
| `file` | Small file (inline base64) | For files ≤ 5MB |
| `lfsFile` | Large file (LFS reference) | For files > 5MB, already uploaded to S3 |
| `deletedFile` | Delete a single file | Remove file from repo |
| `deletedFolder` | Delete folder recursively | Remove all files in folder |
| `copyFile` | Copy file within repo | Duplicate file (deduplication-aware) |

**Response**:
```json
{
  "commitUrl": "https://hub.example.com/repo/commit/abc123",
  "commitOid": "abc123def456",
  "pullRequestUrl": null
}
```

**What Happens**:
```
1. Regular files:
   ┌─────────┐
   │ Decode  │ Base64 -> Binary
   └────┬────┘
        |
        v
   ┌─────────┐
   │ Upload  │ To LakeFS
   └────┬────┘
        |
        v
   ┌─────────┐
   │ Update  │ Database record
   └─────────┘

2. LFS files:
   ┌─────────┐
   │  Link   │ S3 physical address -> LakeFS
   └────┬────┘
        |
        v
   ┌─────────┐
   │ Update  │ Database record
   └─────────┘

3. Commit:
   ┌─────────┐
   │ LakeFS  │ Create commit with all changes
   └─────────┘
```

## Download Workflow

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant Client
    participant API as FastAPI
    participant LakeFS
    participant S3

    Note over Client,S3: Optional: HEAD request for metadata
    Client->>API: HEAD /resolve/{revision}/{filename}
    API->>LakeFS: Stat object
    LakeFS-->>API: Object metadata (SHA256, size)
    API-->>Client: Headers (ETag, Content-Length, X-Repo-Commit)

    Note over Client,S3: Download: GET request
    Client->>API: GET /resolve/{revision}/{filename}
    API->>LakeFS: Get object metadata
    API->>S3: Generate presigned URL
    API-->>Client: 302 Redirect (presigned URL)
    Client->>S3: Direct download
    S3-->>Client: File content

    Note over Client: No proxy - direct S3 download
```

### Step 1: Get Metadata (HEAD)

**Endpoint**: `HEAD /{repo_id}/resolve/{revision}/{filename}`

**Response Headers**:
```
X-Repo-Commit: abc123def456
X-Linked-Etag: "sha256:abc123..."
X-Linked-Size: 52428800
ETag: "abc123..."
Content-Length: 52428800
Location: https://s3.../presigned_download_url
```

**Purpose**: Client checks if file needs re-download (by comparing ETag)

### Step 2: Download (GET)

**Endpoint**: `GET /{repo_id}/resolve/{revision}/{filename}`

**Response**: HTTP 302 Redirect

```
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://s3.example.com/presigned_url?expires=...
X-Repo-Commit: abc123def456
X-Linked-Etag: "sha256:abc123..."
```

**Flow**:
```
┌────────┐                ┌──────────┐
│ Client │───── GET ─────>│  Kohaku  │
└────────┘                │    Hub   │
     ▲                    └─────┬────┘
     │                          │
     │   302 Redirect           │ Generate
     │   (presigned URL)        │ presigned
     │<─────────────────────────┘ URL
     │
     │    ┌──────────┐
     └───>│    S3    │
          │  Direct  │
          │ Download │
          └──────────┘
```

**Key Point**: Client downloads directly from S3. Kohaku Hub only provides the redirect URL.

## Repository Privacy & Filtering

KohakuHub respects repository privacy settings when listing repositories. The visibility of repositories depends on authentication:

### Privacy Rules

**For Unauthenticated Users:**
- Can only see **public** repositories

**For Authenticated Users:**
- Can see all **public** repositories
- Can see their **own private** repositories
- Can see **private repositories** in organizations they belong to

### List Repositories Endpoint

**Pattern**: `/api/{type}s` where type is `model`, `dataset`, or `space`

**Query Parameters:**
- `author`: Filter by author/namespace (username or organization)
- `limit`: Maximum results (default: 50, max: 1000)

**Examples:**
```bash
# List all public models
GET /api/models

# List models by author (respects privacy)
GET /api/models?author=my-org

# Authenticated user sees their private repos too
GET /api/models?author=my-org
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
```

### List User's All Repositories

**Endpoint**: `GET /api/users/{username}/repos`

Returns all repositories for a user/organization, grouped by type.

**Response:**
```json
{
  "models": [
    {"id": "user/model-1", "private": false, ...},
    {"id": "user/model-2", "private": true, ...}
  ],
  "datasets": [
    {"id": "user/dataset-1", "private": false, ...}
  ],
  "spaces": []
}
```

**Note**: Private repositories are only included if:
1. The requesting user is the owner, OR
2. The requesting user is a member of the organization

## Repository Management

### Create Repository

**Endpoint**: `POST /api/repos/create`

**Request**:
```json
{
  "type": "model",
  "name": "my-model",
  "organization": "my-org",
  "private": false
}
```

**What Happens**:
```
1. Check if exists
   └─ Query DB for repo

2. Create LakeFS repo
   └─ Repository: hf-model-my-org-my-model
   └─ Storage: s3://bucket/hf-model-my-org-my-model
   └─ Default branch: main

3. Record in DB
   └─ INSERT INTO repository (...)
```

**Response**:
```json
{
  "url": "https://hub.example.com/models/my-org/my-model",
  "repo_id": "my-org/my-model"
}
```

### List Repository Files

**Endpoint**: `GET /api/{repo_type}s/{repo_id}/tree/{revision}/{path}`

**Query Parameters**:
- `recursive`: List all files recursively (default: false)
- `expand`: Include LFS metadata (default: false)

**Response**:
```json
[
  {
    "type": "file",
    "oid": "abc123",
    "size": 1024,
    "path": "config.json"
  },
  {
    "type": "file",
    "oid": "def456",
    "size": 52428800,
    "path": "model.bin",
    "lfs": {
      "oid": "def456",
      "size": 52428800,
      "pointerSize": 134
    }
  },
  {
    "type": "directory",
    "oid": "",
    "size": 0,
    "path": "configs"
  }
]
```

### Delete Repository

**Endpoint**: `DELETE /api/repos/delete`

**Request**:
```json
{
  "type": "model",
  "name": "my-model",
  "organization": "my-org"
}
```

**What Happens**:
```
1. Delete from LakeFS
   └─ Remove repository metadata
   └─ (Objects remain in S3 for safety)

2. Delete from DB
   ├─ DELETE FROM file WHERE repo_full_id = ...
   ├─ DELETE FROM staging_upload WHERE repo_full_id = ...
   └─ DELETE FROM repository WHERE full_id = ...

3. Return success
```

        datetime created_at
    }
```

### Key Tables

**Repository Table** - Stores repository metadata:
- Unique constraint on `(repo_type, namespace, name)`
- Allows same `full_id` across different `repo_type`
- Example: `model:myorg/mymodel`, `dataset:myorg/mymodel`

**File Table** - Deduplication and metadata:
- Unique constraint on `(repo_full_id, path_in_repo)`
- `sha256` indexed for fast deduplication lookups
- `lfs` flag indicates if file uses LFS storage

**Commit Table** - User commit tracking:
- `commit_id` is LakeFS commit SHA
- Indexed by `(repo_full_id, branch)` for fast queries
- Denormalized `username` for performance

**LFSObjectHistory Table** - LFS garbage collection:
- Tracks which commits reference which LFS objects
- Enables preserving K versions of each file (default: 5)
- Used for auto-cleanup of old LFS objects

**StagingUpload Table** - Multipart upload tracking:
- Tracks ongoing multipart uploads
- Enables upload resume
- Cleans up failed uploads

## LakeFS Integration

### Repository Naming Convention

```
Pattern: {namespace}-{repo_type}-{org}-{name}

Examples:
  HuggingFace repo: "myorg/mymodel"
  LakeFS repo:      "hf-model-myorg-mymodel"
  
  HuggingFace repo: "johndoe/dataset"
  LakeFS repo:      "hf-dataset-johndoe-dataset"
```

### Implementation Notes

**Database Operations:**
- **Synchronous:** Uses Peewee ORM with synchronous operations
- **Transactions:** `db.atomic()` ensures ACID compliance across concurrent workers
- **Multi-Worker Safe:** Designed for horizontal scaling (4-8 workers recommended)
- **Future:** Migration to peewee-async planned for improved concurrency

**LakeFS Operations:**
- **Pure Async:** All operations use REST API via httpx (no thread pools!)
- **No Deprecated Library:** Uses direct REST API instead of lakefs-client

### Key Operations

**All LakeFS operations use pure async REST API via httpx (no thread pools!):**

### Physical Address Linking

```
When uploading LFS file:

1. Client uploads to S3:
   s3://bucket/lfs/ab/cd/abcd1234...

2. Kohaku Hub links to LakeFS:
   ┌──────────────────────────────────┐
   │ StagingMetadata                  │
   ├──────────────────────────────────┤
   │ physical_address:                │
   │   "s3://bucket/lfs/ab/cd/abc..." │
   │ checksum: "sha256:abc..."        │
   │ size_bytes: 52428800             │
   └──────────────────────────────────┘
              │
              ▼
   ┌──────────────────────────────────┐
   │ LakeFS: model.bin                │
   │ → Points to S3 object            │
   └──────────────────────────────────┘

3. On commit:
   LakeFS records this link in its metadata
```

- Email verification status

## Content Deduplication

Kohaku Hub implements content-addressable storage for LFS files:

```
Same file uploaded to different repos:

Repo A: myorg/model-v1
  └─ model.bin (sha256: abc123...)

Repo B: myorg/model-v2
  └─ model.bin (sha256: abc123...)

S3 Storage:
  └─ lfs/ab/c1/abc123...  ← SINGLE COPY
         ▲          ▲
         │          │
    Repo A      Repo B
    (linked)    (linked)

Benefits:
  - Save storage space
  - Faster uploads (skip if exists)
  - Efficient for model variants
```

**Deduplication Points**:

1. **Preupload Check**: Query DB by SHA256
2. **LFS Batch API**: Check if OID exists
3. **Commit**: Link existing S3 object instead of uploading

## Error Handling

Kohaku Hub uses HuggingFace-compatible error headers:

```
HTTP Response Headers:
  X-Error-Code: RepoNotFound
  X-Error-Message: Repository 'org/repo' not found
```

**Error Codes**:

| Code | HTTP Status | Description |
|------|-------------|-------------|
| `RepoNotFound` | 404 | Repository doesn't exist |
| `RepoExists` | 400 | Repository already exists |
| `RevisionNotFound` | 404 | Branch/commit not found |
| `EntryNotFound` | 404 | File not found |
| `GatedRepo` | 403 | Need permission |
| `BadRequest` | 400 | Invalid request |
| `ServerError` | 500 | Internal error |

These error codes are parsed by `huggingface_hub` client to raise appropriate Python exceptions.

## Performance Considerations

### Upload Performance

```
Small Files (≤10MB):
  Client → FastAPI → LakeFS → S3
  (Proxied through server)

Large Files (>10MB):
  Client ─────────────────────→ S3
  (Direct upload, no proxy)
         ↓
  Kohaku Hub (only metadata link)
```

**Why this matters**: Large files bypass the application server entirely, allowing unlimited throughput limited only by client and S3 bandwidth.

### Download Performance

```
All Downloads:
  Client → Kohaku Hub → 302 Redirect → S3
                         (metadata)    (direct)
```

**Why this matters**: After initial redirect, all data transfer is direct from S3/CDN. Server only generates presigned URLs.

### Recommended S3 Providers

| Provider | Best For | Pricing Model | Notes |
|----------|----------|---------------|-------|
| Cloudflare R2 | High download | Free egress, $0.015/GB storage | Best for public datasets |
| Wasabi | Archive/backup | $6/TB/month, free egress* | *if download < storage |
| MinIO | Self-hosted | Free (your hardware/bandwidth) | Full control, privacy |
| AWS S3 | Enterprise | Pay per GB + egress | Most features, expensive egress |
| Backblaze B2 | Budget | $6/TB storage, $0.01/GB egress | Good for mixed workloads |

**Recommendation for KohakuHub:**
- **Development**: MinIO (included in docker-compose)
- **Public Hub**: Cloudflare R2 (free egress saves costs)
- **Private/Enterprise**: Self-hosted MinIO or AWS S3 with VPC endpoints
