Let’s analyze NBA results provided by FiveThirtyEight in a 17MB CSV file. Create a script download_nba_all_elo.py to download the data:

import requests

download_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fivethirtyeight/data/master/nba-elo/nbaallelo.csv" target_csv_path = "nba_all_elo.csv"

response = requests.get(download_url) response.raise_for_status() # Check that the request was successful with open(target_csv_path, "wb") as f: f.write(response.content) print("Download ready.")

Output: Download ready.

When you execute the script, it will save the file nba_all_elo.csv in your current working directory YOURPATH.
