I want to download two files automatically from Python for a reproducible statistical analysis.
These links
I tried
import requests
url = 'https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0282068.s001'
response = requests.get(url)
I suspect that the file is actually the content of response.content, which appears to be a bunch of encoded information (e.g. \xe2\x81a\xe4\x1dq\xbe9~3\x94\x885\xba\xc8\x9bz\'~\x1c)X>\xaaXyg\x929\xf84\xc2\x06\t\n x5\).
How do I download these files and save them as XLSX files?
you need to save the content into the file.
import requests
url = 'https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0282068.s001'
response = requests.get(url)
data = response.content
with open('filename.xlsx', 'wb') as f:
f.write(data)
your content will be saved in file filename.xlsx
