Chapter 5. Downloading files from available Amazon S3 buckets using notebook cells

Procedure

1. Define the following details in a notebook cell:

   1. The bucket that the file is in. Replace <name_of_the_bucket> with your own value.

      bucket_name = '<name_of_the_bucket>'

   2. The name of the file to download. Replace <name_of_the_file_to_download> with your own value.

      file_name = '<name_of_the_file_to_download>' # Full path from the bucket

   3. The name that you want the file to have after it is downloaded. This can be a full path, a relative path, or just a new file name. Replace <name_of_the_file_when_downloaded> with your own value.

      new_file_name = '<name_of_the_file_when_downloaded>'

2. Download the file, specifying the previous variables as arguments.

   s3_client.download_file(bucket_name, file_name, new_file_name)

   Note

   If you want to retrieve a file as an object that you can then stream as a standard file using the read() method, refer to the Amazon Web Services get object command reference.
