How to Execute Python Script as Administrator in SQL Server Agent Job

Question

I have a Python (3.7.2) file that pulls data from a third party API, saves the data in a local CSV file on Windows Server 2016

Answer 1

Did you try using sp_execute_external_script ?

execute sp_execute_external_script 
@language = N'Python', 
@script = N'
a = 1
b = 2
c = a/b
d = a*b
print(c, d)
'

For example, this code can be scheduled into SqlAgent.

Answer 2

I was able to solve the problem to my question by adding a credential/proxy account, assigning it to the Run as in the step, and then altering the Command to look like this:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C python "C:\PythonScripts\myPython.py"
