How to import kaggle datasets to PyCharm IDE

I'm able to download kaggle using PIP command. Able to place the kaggle.json file into the appropriate folder. Able to see the competitions present in it. But when I'm trying to download the data files then an error getting displayed.

CODE:

import kaggle
from kaggle.api.kaggle_api_extended import KaggleApi
api = KaggleApi()
api.authenticate()
lis1 = api.competitions_list(search='LANL-Earthquake-Prediction')
api.competition_download_files('LANL-Earthquake-Prediction')

Error Message: Getting below error message.

Solution

The error returned describes the root of the issue:

HTTP response body: b'{"code":403,"message":"You must accept this competition\\u0027s rules before you\\u0027ll be able to download files."}'

From the documentation of the Kaggle API:

Just like participating in a Competition normally through the user interface, you must read and accept the rules in order to download data or make submissions. You cannot accept Competition rules via the API. You must do this by visiting the Kaggle website and accepting the rules there.

If you have accepted the competition, perhaps you are not authenticating with a token corresponding to that user.
