Most people recommend using requests if it is available, and the requests documentation recommends this for downloading and saving raw data from a url:
Using Response.iter_content will handle a lot of what you would otherwise have to handle when using Response.raw directly. When streaming a download, the above is the preferred and recommended way to retrieve the content. Note that chunk_size can be freely adjusted to a number that may better fit your use cases.
Response.iter_content will automatically decode the gzip and deflate transfer-encodings. Response.raw is a raw stream of bytes – it does not transform the response content. If you really need access to the bytes as they were returned, use Response.raw.
Example Code
or you can use
urllib.request.urlopen
