Creating Interfaces

gradio.Interface(self, fn, inputs=None, outputs=None, verbose=False, examples=None, examples_per_page=10, live=False, layout="unaligned", capture_session=False, interpretation=None, num_shap=2.0, theme=None, title=None, description=None, article=None, thumbnail=None, css=None, server_port=None, server_name="127.0.0.1", allow_screenshot=True, allow_flagging=True, flagging_options=None, encrypt=False, show_tips=False, flagging_dir="flagged", enable_queue=False, api_mode=False)

Interfaces are created with Gradio by constructing a `gradio.Interface()` object.

Parameters

  • fn (Callable) - the function to wrap an interface around.
  • inputs (Union[str, List[Union[str, InputComponent]]]) - a single Gradio input component, or list of Gradio input components. Components can either be passed as instantiated objects, or referred to by their string shortcuts. The number of input components should match the number of parameters in fn.
  • outputs (Union[str, List[Union[str, OutputComponent]]]) - a single Gradio output component, or list of Gradio output components. Components can either be passed as instantiated objects, or referred to by their string shortcuts. The number of output components should match the number of values returned by fn.
  • verbose (bool) - whether to print detailed information during launch.
  • examples (Union[List[List[Any]], str]) - sample inputs for the function; if provided, appears below the UI components and can be used to populate the interface. Should be nested list, in which the outer list consists of samples and each inner list consists of an input corresponding to each input component. A string path to a directory of examples can also be provided. If there are multiple input components and a directory is provided, a log.csv file must be present in the directory to link corresponding inputs.
  • examples_per_page (int) - If examples are provided, how many to display per page.
  • live (bool) - whether the interface should automatically reload on change.
  • layout (str) - Layout of input and output panels. "horizontal" arranges them as two columns of equal height, "unaligned" arranges them as two columns of unequal height, and "vertical" arranges them vertically.
  • capture_session (bool) - if True, captures the default graph and session (needed for Tensorflow 1.x)
  • interpretation (Union[Callable, str]) - function that provides interpretation explaining prediction output. Pass "default" to use built-in interpreter.
  • num_shap (float) - a multiplier that determines how many examples are computed for shap-based interpretation. Increasing this value will increase shap runtime, but improve results.
  • title (str) - a title for the interface; if provided, appears above the input and output components.
  • description (str) - a description for the interface; if provided, appears above the input and output components.
  • article (str) - an expanded article explaining the interface; if provided, appears below the input and output components. Accepts Markdown and HTML content.
  • thumbnail (str) - path to image or src to use as display picture for models listed in gradio.app/hub
  • theme (str) - Theme to use - one of "default", "huggingface", "grass", "peach". Add "dark" prefix, e.g. "darkpeach" or "darkdefault" for darktheme.
  • css (str) - custom css or path to custom css file to use with interface.
  • server_port (int) - will start gradio app on this port (if available)
  • server_name (str) - to make app accessible on local network set to "0.0.0.0".
  • allow_screenshot (bool) - if False, users will not see a button to take a screenshot of the interface.
  • allow_flagging (bool) - if False, users will not see a button to flag an input and output.
  • flagging_options (List[str]) - if not None, provides options a user must select when flagging.
  • encrypt (bool) - If True, flagged data will be encrypted by key provided by creator at launch
  • flagging_dir (str) - what to name the dir where flagged data is stored.
  • show_tips (bool) - if True, will occasionally show tips about new Gradio features
  • enable_queue (bool) - if True, inference requests will be served through a queue instead of with parallel threads. Required for longer inference times (> 1min) to prevent timeout.
  • api_mode (bool) - If True, will skip preprocessing steps when the Interface is called() as a function (should remain False unless the Interface is loaded from an external repo)
gradio.Interface().launch(self, inline=None, inbrowser=None, share=False, debug=False, auth=None, auth_message=None)

  • debug (bool) - if True, and the interface was launched from Google Colab, prints the errors in the cell output.
  • auth (Callable, Union[Tuple[str, str], List[Tuple[str, str]]]) - If provided, username and password (or list of username-password tuples) required to access interface. Can also provide function that takes username and password and returns True if valid login.
  • auth_message (str) - If provided, HTML message provided on login page.
gradio.Interface.load(name, src=None, api_key=None, alias=None)

Class method to construct an Interface from an external source repository, such as huggingface.

Parameters
