1 00:00:01,859 --> 00:00:09,450 In this video, you will learn how to download a file from a website with Python, for this example, 2 00:00:09,450 --> 00:00:13,560 we will download an MP free file from this website. 3 00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:18,600 File samples, dot com slash formats, slash and B3. 4 00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:25,200 You can also find this link in the resources, and I'll download this first file here. 5 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,380 So for that, I need to know the link to the file and you see this button here. 6 00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:37,500 If I press this button, I will download the file through my browser, but I once downloaded through 7 00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:37,950 Python. 8 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,710 So what I do is I want to know the link to the file, so I want to copy the link. 9 00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,600 So right click over the download button. 10 00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:49,200 Copy the link and keep it somewhere in your script. 11 00:00:49,650 --> 00:00:58,710 So that is the link pointing to the empty three file, so I'll give you therefore null and import requests. 12 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,810 Request is a third party in the library for Python able to make, get and post requests. 13 00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:15,720 It gets requests is when you access a file or a web page, so if you download the file that is a gets 14 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,200 request. 15 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,620 A post request is when we want to upload the file. 16 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,890 In our case, we want to use a get requests. 17 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:31,650 So for that, we see requests that get so get this method and it gets as arguments. 18 00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:35,070 The URL, the URL is the URL to the file. 19 00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:40,530 So let me create a variable here you URL and this should be a string. 20 00:01:40,530 --> 00:01:43,560 So I'm using this double quotes there. 21 00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:45,030 So you URL goes here. 22 00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:51,090 And then if you just print a wreck, that content. 23 00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:53,630 And run the script. 24 00:01:57,890 --> 00:02:03,050 What we will have in the Commons line is the voice over the file. 25 00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:04,940 So this is a binary file. 26 00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:07,630 We have text files and we have binary files. 27 00:02:08,060 --> 00:02:14,930 Binary files are files that are not text files such as MP three in this case. 28 00:02:15,620 --> 00:02:25,440 Now what do we want to do with this binary file is we want to open a file using the open function and 29 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:33,770 to give it a name such as don't load the MP three and we open that in right binary mode. 30 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,570 So we are creating a new empty file with that name. 31 00:02:39,020 --> 00:02:45,020 And with this file handling methods, so W.B. means right binary. 32 00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:51,400 If you want to read the file you'd be using or B, we're talking about binary files again. 33 00:02:51,650 --> 00:02:56,390 So it would be what we want to use as a file and file. 34 00:02:56,420 --> 00:02:57,800 That's right. 35 00:02:58,010 --> 00:03:01,310 So we will write content to this new empty file. 36 00:03:02,090 --> 00:03:08,870 The content is this thing in here, Rick, that content. 37 00:03:09,710 --> 00:03:13,850 So what I'm going to do is I'm I'll create a new variable content. 38 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:21,950 We just see you to read that content and then I provide that content variable to here. 39 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:30,080 So I'm going to stop the execution of the previous run because it's too much work for Python to print 40 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,300 it out, to print all these bites. 41 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:35,450 And I'm not going to print out anything this time. 42 00:03:35,450 --> 00:03:37,370 So I deleted the print function. 43 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,080 I'm just going to run this. 44 00:03:40,180 --> 00:03:42,550 And don't load that empty three is here. 45 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,210 So if you click that's or downloaded. 46 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,900 From here and then play with your major player. 47 00:03:57,550 --> 00:03:59,230 And that's a downloaded file. 48 00:04:03,170 --> 00:04:07,190 So that's the code to download any files from the internet. 49 00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:08,630 Thank you, I'll talk to you later.
