Python download file from website how to#
I will only be going over how to do this using the cloud service pythonanywhere, but these steps can be transferred to other cloud services. This was annoying, so I used the steps in this tutorial to show how my live data website is now totally automated.

For example: I host a website that shows Texas COVID case counts by county in an interactive dashboard, but everyday I had to run a script to download the excel file from the Texas COVID website, clean the data, update the pandas data frame that was used to create the dashboard, upload the updated data to the cloud service I was using, and reload my website.

This tutorial will be helpful for people who have a website that hosts live data on a cloud service but are unsure how to completely automate the updating of the live data so the website becomes hassle free.
