These are two slightly different implementations of a way to get the file directly rather than the html, and in general this is how one should programmatically download files from dropbox. – TheIceBearThis is exactly the problem that ?dl=1 or ?raw=1 are supposed to solve. If you download it manually yourself first or let Stata do it to a temporary folder first, does not make a difference on your disk space requirements. And the dataset is nevertheless downloaded to your computer when you do that, as in order for Stata to read a dataset if first needs to be on your computer. To be clear, you can pass a URL in use but then you need a URL that return a Stata dataset and not instructions to a browser, the way Dropbox does. But even though I'm an athest, I swear to God you wanna learn Python, particularly if you're a young researcher like me who uses a variety of datasets from a wide variety of different places and don't wanna manually recollect data each time you need to do a paper. You'll likely need to learn to fill in boxes and forms to log into your dropbox, and all other relevant stuff. It is efficient, and allows you to fully automate your data collection process. It grabs the same data from the same place pretty much every single time. Wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, x))).click()ĮndMy Python code is not perfect, and there exist Pythonistas who can run many circles around me.
