# Deploying to Hugging Face Spaces

This guide outlines the steps to deploy your FastAPI application to Hugging Face Spaces.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

*   **Git LFS**: [Install Git LFS](https://git-lfs.com/)
*   **Hugging Face CLI**: Install with `pip install huggingface_hub`

## Steps

1.  **Log in to Hugging Face CLI**

    Open your terminal and log in to your Hugging Face account:

    ```bash
    huggingface-cli login
    ```

    Follow the prompts to enter your Hugging Face token.

2.  **Create a New Space on Hugging Face Hub**

    Go to [Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces) and click on "Create new Space".

    *   Choose a name for your Space (e.g., `your-username/stock-predictor-api`).
    *   Select "Public" or "Private" as desired.
    *   For the SDK, select "Docker".
    *   Click "Create Space".

3.  **Push Your Code to the Hugging Face Space**

    Navigate to your project's root directory in the terminal. Initialize a Git repository (if you haven't already), add the Hugging Face Space as a remote, and push your code:

    ```bash
    cd /home/aman/code/ml_fr/ml_stocks
    git init
    git remote add origin https://huggingface.co/spaces/your-username/stock-predictor-api # Replace with your Space URL
    git add .
    git commit -m "Initial commit for Hugging Face deployment"
    git push origin main
    ```

    Hugging Face Spaces will automatically detect your `Dockerfile` and `README.md` (in the `deployment` directory), build the Docker image, and run your FastAPI application. Your application will then be accessible via the Space's URL.

## Accessing Your API

Once deployed, your API will be accessible at the URL provided by Hugging Face Spaces. You can find this URL on your Space's page.
