Cannot use 'kaggle.competitions' in Kaggle kernel

Question

I am trying to use a Python module in the remote Kaggle kernel, but when I run, from kaggle.competitions import nflrush, this error appears:

Could not find kaggle.json. Make sure it's located in /root/.kaggle. Or use the environment method.

• I am using Kaggle Notebooks.
• The Nlf Rush was a competition in kaggle that ended 2 months ago
• os.getcwd(), gives me: '/kaggle/working'
• os.listdir(), gives me: ['.ipynb_checkpoints', '__notebook_source__.ipynb']

But I don't know how to add the credentials kaggle.json in the Kaggle remote kernel. Or is it because the competition is over?

Answer 1

The Ones managing the competition made an R Version of the module. The problem with Python still persists. Here is the link for the R version: https://www.kaggle.com/wcukierski/official-r-starter-notebook-nfl-big-data-bowl

Answer 2

I believe it is because your notebook is not attached to the dataset.

See this forum post for details on how to do so: https://www.kaggle.com/c/nfl-big-data-bowl-2020/discussion/113684.

the easiest is to create it from within the competition: click the "Notebooks" tab on any page in the competition — or just go here: https://www.kaggle.com/c/nfl-big-data-bowl-2020/notebooks — and click on "New Notebook" then the notebook should be set up properly.
