Downloading csv from Cloud Storage to local machine using python

[AnthonyMatovu]

Dear Members, 

I am a bit new to the community, I am called Anthony Matovu from Uganda, just certified in GCP Machine Learning. 

Now I am facing some challenge, I would like to download a csv file I have in cloud storage to a local machine using python, when I put in the authenticated URL in a browser, the file gets downloaded, but when I put the same URL in the python code, it downloads the html not the CSV file.

Please help me.

Greetings @AnthonyMatovu!

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

Refer to this documentation: Downloading Objects from your buckets in Cloud Storage. 

1. You need to have the proper IAM permissions to download an object.
2. Under downloading an object from a bucket, navigate to client libraries and select python.
3. You can use the example as a reference when downloading an object.

If the above option doesn't work, you can contact Google Cloud Support to further look into your case. Let me know if it helped, thanks!
