Download Plotly plot as html

Using Streamlit

I would like to allow the user to download a plotly plot as a .html file. This is well supported by plotly. I can’t get it to work though. I am trying

from io import StringIO, BytesIO
import base64
import streamlit as st
import plotly.express as px

df = px.data.iris()
fig = px.scatter(df, x="sepal_width", y="sepal_length", color="species")
st.plotly_chart(fig)

mybuff = StringIO()
fig.write_html(mybuff, include_plotlyjs='cdn')
mybuff = BytesIO(mybuff.read().encode('utf8'))
href = f'<a href="data:file/txt;base64, {base64.b64encode(mybuff.read())}" download="plot.html">Downlo\
ad plot</a>'
st.markdown(href, unsafe_allow_html=True)

I confirm that fig.write_html("myplot.html") outputs the proper thing.

Solved! :slight_smile:

mybuff = StringIO()
fig.write_html(mybuff, include_plotlyjs='cdn')
mybuff = BytesIO(mybuff.getvalue().encode())
b64 = base64.b64encode(mybuff.read()).decode()
href = f'<a href="data:text/html;charset=utf-8;base64, {b64}" download="plot.html">Download plot</a>'
st.markdown(href, unsafe_allow_html=True)

and the user gets a portable self-contained plotly plot! :partying_face:

For people coming here in the future that want to use streamlit’s st.download_button:

        buffer = io.StringIO()
        fig.write_html(buffer, include_plotlyjs='cdn')
        html_bytes = buffer.getvalue().encode()

        st.download_button(
            label='Download HTML',
            data=html_bytes,
            file_name='stuff.html',
            mime='text/html'
        )

Hi,
Is there any way to download multiple plotly plots as HTML, to zipping them and download it as .zip

Do you have any idea why from one point on the plot started to download in black and white, when the original is in color? Months ago there was no such problem.

I found the solution in this post:
