Extract data from txt website with pandas

Question

How could I extract the data in this link and transform it into a pandas DataFrame?

https://ticdata.treasury.gov/Publish/slt1d.txt

I've tried to use

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_table('https://ticdata.treasury.gov/Publish/slt1d.txt', skiprows=7, sep="\s*")

But this piece of code is throwing me

ParserError: Expected 33 fields in line 18, saw 39. Error could possibly be due to quotes being ignored when a multi-char delimiter is used.

If I only use

df = pd.read_table('https://ticdata.treasury.gov/Publish/slt1d.txt')

Then it brings me the wrong data.

Answer 1

The read_table function is required two most like txt or csv file. You have put the address form in txt file and not using delimiter feature.That is the reason rise some error in program

Sample Code

data=pd.read_table("filename. csv or txt",delimiter=',')
data.head()

It is helpful to read the data from table
