# Get dataset information

Datasets Server provides an `/info` endpoint for exploring the general information about dataset, including such fields as description, citation, homepage, license and features.

The `/info` endpoint accepts two query parameters:

- `dataset`: the dataset name
- `config`: the configuration name

<inferencesnippet>
<python>
```python
import requests
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_TOKEN}"}
API_URL = "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/info?dataset=duorc&config=SelfRC"
def query():
    response = requests.get(API_URL, headers=headers)
    return response.json()
data = query()
```
</python>
<js>
```js
import fetch from "node-fetch";
async function query(data) {
    const response = await fetch(
        "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/info?dataset=duorc&config=SelfRC",
        {
            headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${API_TOKEN}` },
            method: "GET"
        }
    );
    const result = await response.json();
    return result;
}
query().then((response) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response));
});
```
</js>
<curl>
```curl
curl https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/info?dataset=duorc&config=SelfRC \
        -X GET \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${API_TOKEN}"
```
</curl>
</inferencesnippet>

The endpoint response is a JSON with the `dataset_info` key. Its structure and content correspond to [DatasetInfo](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/package_reference/main_classes#datasets.DatasetInfo) object of the `datasets` library.
