Kaggle datasets into jupyter notebook

Question

I am trying to import some data from kaggle into notebook. The error I am receiving is a 401 unauthorized, however I have accepted the competition rules and I am able to download the data.

This is the code I am running:

from kaggle.api.kaggle_api_extended import KaggleApi

api = KaggleApi()
files = api.competition_download_files("twosigmanews")
api.competitions_submit("submission.csv", "my submission message", "twosigmanews")

EDIT: Added more of the error: No matter which kaggle data I wish to import I obtain the same error.

Answer 1

I think that the name of the competition is wrong. Try:

from kaggle.api.kaggle_api_extended import KaggleApi

api = KaggleApi('copy and paste kaggle.json content here')
api.authenticate()
files = api.competition_download_files("two-sigma-financial-news")
