What I like about these videos is that they are short, sweet, and to the point. The "digestable" lengths of these videos makes it easier for me to consume and, more importantly, retain. Thank you @python_basics

If am stuck, trying to figure how to fix the issue where the csv file called ur.csv has all of the csv url link and I am unable to retreive all of the csv link to save to a csv file but when i print the index, it prints the all of the links. When I do run it then i will only pick one link .
import csv
from urllib.request import urlretrieve as retrieve
with open('url.csv', 'r') as inputfile:
reader = csv.DictReader(inputfile, delimiter=', ')
for row in reader:
url = (row['HTML Link'])
id = (row['id'])
retrieve(url, ''url'+id+'.csv')

could not get to work... old link address. even tried:
which does download the file into my downloads folder, but does not work in python script / IDLE.

What happens if we enter wrong url? what error is thrown by python?

[Mishmashes]

What if we cannot copy the download link address and if it hidden. How should we gather download url in that case
