      kaggle datasets list -s "keyword"
    

2.2 Download a Specific Dataset

  • [ ] Use the Kaggle API to download a dataset.

      kaggle datasets download -d dataset-owner/dataset-name
    

2.3 Unzip the Dataset

  • [ ] Unzip the downloaded dataset.

      unzip dataset-name.zip -d dataset-directory/
    

3. Integrating Kaggle API with Google Colab

3.1 Upload kaggle.json to Google Colab

  • [ ] Use the file upload widget in Google Colab to upload kaggle.json.

3.2 Set Up Kaggle in Google Colab

  • [ ] Configure Kaggle API in Colab.

      import os
      os.environ['KAGGLE_USERNAME'] = "your_kaggle_username"
      os.environ['KAGGLE_KEY'] = "your_kaggle_key"
    

3.3 Download Datasets in Google Colab

  • [ ] Use Kaggle API to download datasets directly in Google Colab.

      !kaggle datasets download -d dataset-owner/dataset-name
    

4. Using Kaggle API with GitHub Codespaces

4.1 Create a Codespace

  • [ ] Set up a new Codespace in your GitHub repository.

4.2 Install and Configure Kaggle API in Codespaces

  • [ ] Install Kaggle API and configure it with your credentials.

      pip install kaggle
      mkdir ~/.kaggle
      cp /path/to/kaggle.json ~/.kaggle/
      chmod 600 ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json
    

4.3 Download and Use Datasets in Codespaces

  • [ ] Use Kaggle API commands to download and use datasets within Codespaces.

      kaggle datasets download -d dataset-owner/dataset-name
    

5. Automating Data Visualization with OpenAI API

5.1 Set Up OpenAI API

  • [ ] Create an account on OpenAI and get an API key.

  • [ ] Install OpenAI Python client.

      pip install openai
    

5.2 Generate Visualizations with OpenAI API

  • [ ] Use OpenAI API to create visualizations from your datasets.

      import openai
    
      openai.api_key = "your_openai_api_key"
    
      response = openai.Completion.create(
          engine="text-davinci-003",
          prompt="Generate a visualization for this dataset: [describe dataset]",
          max_tokens=1000
      )
    
      print(response.choices[0].text.strip())
    

6. Connecting JetBrains IDEs to Kaggle

6.1 Set Up JetBrains IDE

  • [ ] Install your preferred JetBrains IDE (PyCharm, IntelliJ, etc.).

6.2 Install and Configure Kaggle API in JetBrains

  • [ ] Set up the Kaggle API in your JetBrains IDE.
