You can import a CSV file from a URL in Python by using the requests
library to fetch the CSV file from the URL and then the csv
module to read and parse the CSV data. Here's an example:
main.py202 chars13 lines
In this code snippet, we first use the requests.get()
method to fetch the contents of the CSV file from the provided URL. We then read the text from the response and convert it into a CSV reader object using the csv.reader()
method.
You can now work with the csv_data
list which contains the rows of the CSV file fetched from the URL.
Remember to install the requests
library if you haven't already by running pip install requests
in your terminal.
Note: Make sure to handle exceptions and error checking for cases like network issues or invalid URLs.
