Inspect Dataset
Read a LeRobot dataset’s metadata without starting a run.
Use it to check a dataset is trainable — and to get its camera keys, which are
what cameras.rename maps from — before spending any tokens.

Headers
The dated contract your code was written against. Without it you get 2026-09-27; every response says which version served it.
Available options:
2026-09-27 Body
application/json
LeRobot dataset: a HuggingFace repo id ('lerobot/pusht') or a gs:// path
Required string length:
3 - 500Response
The dataset's metadata
A LeRobot dataset's metadata, read without starting a run.
Available options:
dataset_inspection Allowed value:
"dataset_inspection"lerobot
It has at least one camera and an action feature
What cameras.rename maps from
Null when the dataset has no observation.state
Why it is not trainable, in words; empty when it is
