Is it possible to store data with a plotly account and then access it with a python read\_csv call like you can with github?

So instead of

df = pd.read\_csv([https://raw.githubusercontent.com/](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/) … .csv)

a call like

df = pd.read\_csv([https://plot.ly/~](https://plot.ly/~) … .#data)

Yes. Simply append `.csv` to your graph’s URL, e.g.

[https://plot.ly/~etpinard/7599.csv](https://plot.ly/~etpinard/7599.csv)
