Python - Read csv file with Pandas without header?

To read CSV file without header, use the header parameter and set it to “None” in the read_csv() method.

Let’s say the following are the contents of our CSV file opened in Microsoft Excel −

At first, import the required library −

import pandas as pd

Load data from a CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame. This will display the headers as well −

dataFrame = pd.read_csv("C:\Users\amit_\Desktop\SalesData.csv")

While loading, use the header parameter and set None to load the CSV without header −

pd.read_csv("C:\Users\amit_\Desktop\SalesData.csv", header=None)

Example

Following is the code −

import pandas as pd

# Load data from a CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame
dataFrame = pd.read_csv("C:\Users\amit_\Desktop\SalesData.csv")
print("\nReading the CSV file...\n",dataFrame)

# Load data from a CSV file and hide the header
dataFrame = pd.read_csv("C:\Users\amit_\Desktop\SalesData.csv", header=None)
print("\nReading the CSV file (without header)...\n",dataFrame)

Output

This will produce the following output −
