import opendatasets as od
 
od.download("https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/tlvmc-parkinsons-freezing-gait-prediction/data","/dbfs/FileStore/mypath/")

 The output, when running this, shows first the zip being downloaded. Once the download is complete, it automatically extracts or unzips the files.

Extracting archive /dbfs/FileStore/mypath/tlvmc-parkinsons-freezing-gait-prediction/tlvmc-parkinsons-freezing-gait-prediction.zip to /dbfs/FileStore/mypath/tlvmc-parkinsons-freezing-gait-prediction

Hi @Stephanie Riveraโ€‹. In the Databricks notebook, you can handle this with either Python, Scala or bash.

I have not tried it but below should work as this command works in native shell.

%sh curl some_url --output myfile.zip
 
%sh unzip myfile.zip -d "some directory"
