!kaggle datasets download
. - Unzip Dataset: Includes code to unzip datasets for immediate use.
How to Use
- Create a new Colab notebook or open an existing one.
- Copy and paste the code from this notebook into a code cell.
- Replace
kaggle.json
with the path to your downloaded Kaggle API key file. - Replace
techsash/waste-classification-data
in the download section with the desired dataset you want to use. - Execute the code cells.
Now you're ready to explore and utilize Kaggle datasets within your Colaboratory environment!
Additional Notes:
- The
!kaggle datasets list
command helps you search for relevant datasets on the Kaggle platform. - Ensure you have sufficient storage space in your Colab environment to accommodate downloaded datasets.
