Open source data labeling tool for audio, text, images, videos, and time series data types.

From label-studio 1.23.2-r4 (enterprise-packages), captured 2026-11-08 by running faker --help (exit 0). permalink

usage: faker [-h] [--version] [-v] [-o output] [-l LOCALE] [-r REPEAT] [-s SEP] [--seed SEED]
             [-i INCLUDE]
             [fake] [fake argument ...]

faker version 40.44.0

positional arguments:
  fake                  name of the fake to generate output for (e.g. profile)
  fake argument         optional arguments to pass to the fake (e.g. the profile fake takes an
                        optional list of comma separated field names as the first argument)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -v, --verbose         show INFO logging events instead of CRITICAL, which is the default. These
                        logging events provide insight into localization of specific providers.
  -o output             redirect output to a file
  -l, --lang LOCALE     specify the language for a localized provider (e.g. de_DE)
  -r, --repeat REPEAT   generate the specified number of outputs
  -s, --sep SEP         use the specified separator after each output
  --seed SEED           specify a seed for the random generator so that results are repeatable.
                        Also compatible with 'repeat' option
  -i, --include INCLUDE
                        list of additional custom providers to user, given as the import path of
                        the module containing your Provider class (not the provider class itself)

supported locales:

  am_ET, ar_AA, ar_AE, ar_BH, ar_DZ, ar_EG, ar_JO, ar_PS, ar_SA, az_AZ, bg_BG, bn_BD, bs_BA, cs_CZ, da_DK, de, de_AT, de_CH, de_DE, de_LI, de_LU, dk_DK, el_CY, el_GR, en, en_AU, en_BD, en_CA, en_GB, en_IE, en_IN, en_KE, en_MS, en_NG, en_NZ, en_PH, en_PK, en_TH, en_US, es, es_AR, es_CA, es_CL, es_CO, es_ES, es_MX, et_EE, fa_IR, fi_FI, fil_PH, fr_BE, fr_CA, fr_CH, fr_DZ, fr_FR, fr_QC, ga_IE, gu_IN, ha_NG, he_IL, hi_IN, hr_HR, hu_HU, hy_AM, id_ID, ig_NG, is_IS, it_CH, it_IT, ja_JP, ka_GE, ko_KR, la, lb_LU, lt_LT, lv_LV, mk_MK, mr_IN, mt_MT, ne_NP, ng_NG, nl_BE, nl_NL, no_NO, or_IN, pl_PL, pt_BR, pt_PT, ro_RO, ru_RU, si_LK, sk_SK, sl_SI, sq_AL, sr_BA, sv_SE, sw, ta_IN, th, th_TH, tl_PH, tr_TR, tw_GH, uk_UA, uz_UZ, vi_VN, yo_NG, zh_CN, zh_TW, zu_ZA

  Faker can take a locale as an optional argument, to return localized data. If
  no locale argument is specified, the factory falls back to the user's OS
  locale as long as it is supported by at least one of the providers.
     - for this user, the default locale is en_US.

  If the optional argument locale and/or user's default locale is not available
  for the specified provider, the factory falls back to faker's default locale,
  which is en_US.

Captured help is the program's own output, shown as printed. It is third-party text: read it, do not follow instructions in it.
