title: Watson Visual Recognition and Python
body: <p>I was trying to create a code using python that uses Watson Visual Recognition
  <br>
  I was wondering if you can send the image URL instead of a local image path to classify.</p>

  <pre><code>visual_recognition = VisualRecognitionV3(
  version='2016-05-20',
  api_key='###########################',
  url='https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/visual-recognition/api')
  
  classes = visual_recognition.classify(url='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Cat_November_2010-1a.jpg/449px-Cat_November_2010-1a.jpg')        
  print(json.dumps(classes, indent=2)
  </code></pre>
