python - While reading a csv file i am getting a parser error , when given in list it is giving the same error what should I do to avoid the error

Question

This is the code:

pd.read_csv('https://github.com/vincentarelbundock/Rdatasets/blob/master/datasets.csv',skiprows=[69,88],header=None)

I am getting following error:

ParserError: Error tokenizing data. C error: Expected 1 fields in line 69, saw 2

I have tried skipping the rows When giving individual skiprow value it works for one , but when given in list (rows to skip) it shows the above error.

Answer 1

The thing is when you are fetching it using this url, you are getting the web page and not csv. To get csv click on the raw button which is there and then use that url. Use the below and you'd get it correctly.

import pandas as pd

data = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vincentarelbundock/Rdatasets/master/datasets.csv')
data.head()
