Thanks @seupedro and @cameck, always good to know that it's still working and the CSV is available. I wonder if the script still works. I'll try it again sometime soon and paste back here what worked or didn't and an update if needed.

CSV file is working again! Nice!
The data is not exactly up to date. I would say about 2 months. I have a site in the current the 67,000 positions today, and is in the lists 78,000s
Also how to get for example 10 top list into a text file not all?

With the Alexa top 1 million CSV/ZIP going away shortly, you can use https://statvoo.com/dl/top-1million-sites.csv.zip instead, which is linked to over here: https://statvoo.com/top/ranked and provides a list of the top 1million websites. (Updated daily)

Can confirm http://s3.amazonaws.com/alexa-static/top-1m.csv.zip still works for me, 1M sites (as of May 11th 2022). I think the actual resources will be gone by December of 2022 though

Hello,
does anyone knows how to get the top-1000 from a specific Country too?
i would search for the Austrian and Germany Top 1000 List. Can anybody help me out with a link to download?

@ciscospirit I don't know any off the top of my head, but perhaps do a search and see what you can find.

This is a link to the Cisco Umbrella popularity list. Archive.org has luckily archived the zip: https://web.archive.org/web/20230401000000*/https://s3.amazonaws.com/alexa-static/top-1m.csv.zip
