I have an app I created on Spaces. It takes a text as input and returns a score as an output (see this toy app for example [Flask Trial - a Hugging Face Space by DHar2023](https://huggingface.co/spaces/DHar2023/flask-trial)).

I want to be able to send a bunch of texts from a notebook or a python script and get scores. Then, if possible, I want to share the app with friends, some of which don’t have a client on HF (and hence don’t have a key).

Thanks 🤗

hi @DHar2023, the Space you’ve share is actually an Streamlit app, are you trying to build your Space as an API service? I didn’t understand this part
