tf.keras.utils.get_file
Downloads a file from a URL if it not already in the cache.
tf.keras.utils.get_file(
    fname, origin, untar=False, md5_hash=None, file_hash=None,
    cache_subdir='datasets', hash_algorithm='auto',
    extract=False, archive_format='auto', cache_dir=None
)
By default the file at the url origin is downloaded to the cache_dir ~/.keras, placed in the cache_subdir datasets, and given the filename fname. The final location of a file example.txt would therefore be ~/.keras/datasets/example.txt.
Files in tar, tar.gz, tar.bz, and zip formats can also be extracted. Passing a hash will verify the file after download. The command line programs shasum and sha256sum can compute the hash.
Example:
path_to_downloaded_file = tf.keras.utils.get_file(
    "flower_photos",
    "https://storage.googleapis.com/download.tensorflow.org/example_images/flower_photos.tgz",
    untar=True)
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| fname | Name of the file. If an absolute path /path/to/file.txtis specified the file will be saved at that location. | 
| origin | Original URL of the file. | 
| untar | Deprecated in favor of extractargument. boolean, whether the file should be decompressed | 
| md5_hash | Deprecated in favor of file_hashargument. md5 hash of the file for verification | 
| file_hash | The expected hash string of the file after download. The sha256 and md5 hash algorithms are both supported. | 
| cache_subdir | Subdirectory under the Keras cache dir where the file is saved. If an absolute path /path/to/folderis specified the file will be saved at that location. | 
| hash_algorithm | Select the hash algorithm to verify the file. options are 'md5','sha256', and'auto'. The default 'auto' detects the hash algorithm in use. | 
| extract | True tries extracting the file as an Archive, like tar or zip. | 
| archive_format | Archive format to try for extracting the file. Options are 'auto','tar','zip', andNone.'tar'includes tar, tar.gz, and tar.bz files. The default'auto'corresponds to['tar', 'zip']. None or an empty list will return no matches found. | 
| cache_dir | Location to store cached files, when None it defaults to the default directory ~/.keras/. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Path to the downloaded file |
