Question

I want to download Results.csv from 'https://www.bseindia.com/corporates/Forth_Results.aspx' I want to basically get data in dataframe format. I used below code to download the file but it is getting some error data.

import requests
import pandas as pd
bse_url = 'https://www.bseindia.com/corporates/Forth_Results.aspx'
r = requests.get(bse_url)
file_name = Results.csv

with open(file_name, 'wb') as f:
    for chunk in r.iter_content(): 
        f.write(chunk)
        f.flush()

Answer 1

You can do this with the help of selenium, follow the below steps:

Step 1: Download the web driver for chrome:

First check your chrome version(Browser's Menu(triple vertical dots) -> Help -> About Google Chrome

Step 2: Download Driver from here according to your chrome browser version(mine is 81.0.4044.138)

Step 3: Once downloaded unzip the file and place chromedriver.exe in the directory where your script is.

Step 4: pip install selenium

Now use the below code:

from selenium import webdriver
import os
import pandas as pd

#your website url
site = 'https://www.bseindia.com/corporates/Forth_Results.aspx'

#your driver path
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = 'chromedriver.exe')
#passing website url
driver.get(site)

#wait until whole sites load
time.sleep(5)

#click download icon using xpath
driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/form/div[4]/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/a/i").click()
#closing browser
driver.close()
#reading Results.csv from defalut download directory
df = pd.read_csv("c:/users/viupadhy/downloads/Results.csv")
df

Output:
