[FIXED] How to read CSV file from GitHub using pandas

Issue

Im trying to read CSV file thats on github with Python using pandas> i have looked all over the web, and I tried some solution that I found on this website, but they do not work. What am I doing wrong?

I have tried this:

import pandas as pd

url = 'https://github.com/lukes/ISO-3166-Countries-with-Regional-Codes/blob/master/all/all.csv'
df = pd.read_csv(url,index_col=0)
#df = pd.read_csv(url)

print(df.head(5))

Solution

You should provide URL to raw content. Try using this:

import pandas as pd

url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lukes/ISO-3166-Countries-with-Regional-Codes/master/all/all.csv'
df = pd.read_csv(url, index_col=0)
print(df.head(5))

Output:

               alpha-2           ...            intermediate-region-code
name                             ...                                    
Afghanistan         AF           ...                                 NaN
Åland Islands       AX           ...                                 NaN
Albania             AL           ...                                 NaN
Algeria             DZ           ...                                 NaN
American Samoa      AS           ...                                 NaN
