API for searching public models

Replicate’s API now has an endpoint for searching public models.

To use it, make a QUERY HTTP request using your search query as the plaintext body of the request:

curl -s -X QUERY \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REPLICATE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
  -d "face" \
  https://api.replicate.com/v1/models

The response will be a paginated JSON object containing an array of model objects:

{
  "next": null,
  "previous": null,
  "results": [
    {
      "url": "https://replicate.com/acme/hello-world",
      "owner": "acme",
      "name": "hello-world",
      "description": "A tiny model that says hello",
      "visibility": "public",
      "github_url": "https://github.com/replicate/cog-examples",
      "paper_url": null,
      "license_url": null,
      "run_count": 5681081,
      "cover_image_url": "...",
      "default_example": {...},
      "latest_version": {...}
    }
  ]
}

You can also the download metadata for all public models on Replicate using the list public models API if you need more fine-grained control or want to build your own implementation of model search.
