How can I use Plotly with different data sources in Google Colab?

You can use Plotly in Google Colab by importing the library and loading data from various sources like CSV files, Google Sheets, or APIs.

Can you show me an example of loading a CSV file?

Sure! You can use pandas to read a CSV file. Here's a simple example:

import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px

df = pd.read_csv('your_file.csv')
fig = px.line(df, x='x_column', y='y_column')
fig.show()

What about using data from Google Sheets?

To use data from Google Sheets, you can use the gspread library. First, install it using !pip install gspread. Then, you can access your sheet like this:

import gspread
from google.auth import default

auth = default()
client = gspread.authorize(auth)
sheet = client.open('Your Sheet Name').sheet1
data = sheet.get_all_records()

Can I visualize data from an API?

Absolutely! You can use the requests library to fetch data from an API. Here's a quick example:

import requests
import plotly.express as px

response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/data')
data = response.json()
fig = px.bar(data, x='x_value', y='y_value')
fig.show()
