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!
Solved! Go to Solution.

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

@Claje , could you provide an example of what a proxy setup might look like in Alteryx?

Hi @kaianderson
Proxy servers are a windows settings and due to this you cannot see them through Alteryx. I would recommend reaching out to your IT team to identify if you have a proxy setup as they'll be better able to assist you.
