import csv file from url in python

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.py
import requests
import csv
from io import StringIO

url = "https://example.com/data.csv"

response = requests.get(url)
data = response.text

csv_data = list(csv.reader(StringIO(data)))

print(csv_data)
202 chars
13 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.
