This script is not working, Skip to delete file/folders than work on data analysis and scraping, save project to google drive with python
Part 1 - Import libraries/module and start script
01
Get the id for the files from drive double click on the file's name, then opening into a new window
02
The fles id is in the URL before view
03
Get the file id for the excel file seen in previous lesson
03-uploadFiles
and put them into a list file_ids
You also need to import 3 modules to download files from drive
import os
import io
from googleapiclient.http import MediaIoBaseDownload
from googleServiceCreate import create_service
CLIENT_SECRET = 'credentials.json'
API_NAME = 'drive'
API_VERSION = 'v3'
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
service = create_service(CLIENT_SECRET,API_NAME,API_VERSION,SCOPES)
file_ids = ['1fF3WBDA8l9Mw40_Xf_8Ftgf9N-cgs2wW', '1M_TC8OjNl1TgE44BXo5hTy-BjDJio7Yq']
04
Make a list for file_name
(** you have the option to rename files here)
import os
import io
from googleapiclient.http import MediaIoBaseDownload
from googleServiceCreate import create_service
CLIENT_SECRET = 'credentials.json'
API_NAME = 'drive'
API_VERSION = 'v3'
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
service = create_service(CLIENT_SECRET,API_NAME,API_VERSION,SCOPES)
file_ids = ['1fF3WBDA8l9Mw40_Xf_8Ftgf9N-cgs2wW', '1M_TC8OjNl1TgE44BXo5hTy-BjDJio7Yq']
file_name = ['excelExample.xlsx','fall.jpeg']
Part 2 - script
01
zip and loop through file_ids and file_names.
Provide the file_id to the method
files().get_media()
parameter fileId parameters, on a a request object
file_ids = ['1fF3WBDA8l9Mw40_Xf_8Ftgf9N-cgs2wW', '1M_TC8OjNl1TgE44BXo5hTy-BjDJio7Yq'] file_names = ['excelExample.xlsx','fall.jpeg'] for file_id, file_name in zip(file_ids,file_names): request = service.files().get_media(fileId=file_id)
02
I don't get this fully,
us io module's BytesIO() and put it in
a fh variable,
then, assign it to a MediaIoBaseDownload along with
the request in a output
fh = io.BytesIO() download = MediaIoBaseDownload(fd=fh, request= request )
03
make a while loop for the download MediaIoBaseDownload object. This
return a tuple, use the status to monitor the progress with a f string or format
progress() * 100 converts it to a percentage
04
We can seek throught the fh variable and write it to a file
