Download a csv file from a URL

cesar_castellon

Hi, I am trying to download the following file using Alteryx --- http://www.fhfa.gov/HPI_master.csv

Note that is a bit different from an API and that the URL automatically downloads the file.

I attempted to do this using the download tool and specifying the URL and a file address.

However the output file does not contain any data - see below

Any help would be highly appreciated!

I just replicated what you did and it worked great. I'm guessing something is being blocked by a firewall and you might want to try this from outside your network.

Hi,

Wanted to chime in and say that I tested and got the expected results as well.

Based on the messages in your csv file, I'm guessing you have to authenticate somehow to leave your network/access the internet? You may need to configure proxy settings or discuss this issue with your networking team.

Thank you @RogerS,

I have other workflows downloading data from other APIs that work just fine - this is why I figured it wasn't my network

Thank you for your comment
