  5. Download a Dataset: Shows how to download a dataset of your choice using !kaggle datasets download.
  6. Unzip Dataset: Includes code to unzip datasets for immediate use.

How to Use

  1. Create a new Colab notebook or open an existing one.
  2. Copy and paste the code from this notebook into a code cell.
  3. Replace kaggle.json with the path to your downloaded Kaggle API key file.
  4. Replace techsash/waste-classification-data in the download section with the desired dataset you want to use.
  5. 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.
