Is there a way to access a dataset from Kaggle without downloading it (like web loading it) onto R Studio? I have a URL for a dataset that I would like to use: https://www.kaggle.com/amoghrrao2/video-games-list?select=Windows_Games_List.csv

However, when I do

games<-read.csv("https://www.kaggle.com/amoghrrao2/video-games-list?select=Windows_Games_List.csv")

It gives me data on the website, rather than the .csv file that is listed and shown. Is there a way to solve this? My professor used a raw.githubusercontent.com/..... link using the same method, no packages or anything. Any help is appreciated!

    That URL is not to the dataset itself, that URL is to a webpage that describes the URL. You need to sign in first to download most data. Most guides recommend download the data since trying to set up the authentication and finding the direct data link are not usually very straightforward. Kaggle does not feely share data in the same way github does. You need to accept terms and conditions before downloading. – MrFlick Jan 27 '22 at 04:05
