I was wondering if anyone knew a good way (preferably a built in method, but I\'m open to writing my own of course) to get the

Apologies for the necro-answer really wanted to add a comment to Fermin Silva left behind (https://stackoverflow.com/a/38033016/2805700) - but long standing lurker reputation prevents me.

Anyhow I had a similar need and encoutered an issue with plotly 2.2.2

plotly.offline.plot(data, include_plotlyjs=False, output_type='div')

The include_plotlyjs parameter was being ignored when outputting to a div. Based on the comments above, I found a workaround. Basically let plotly plot to file, which does respect the include_plotlyjs parameter. Load into beautiful soup and inject the link to the latest plotly.js on the cdn.

import plotly
import bs4

# return as html fragment
# the include_plotlyjs argument seems to be 
# ignored as it's included regardless when outputting to div
# found an open issue on here - https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/issues/1043
plotly.offline.plot(
    plot_output, 
    filename = filename,
    config = plot_config,
    include_plotlyjs = False,
    auto_open = False,
)

# load the file
with open(filename) as inf:
    txt = inf.read()
    soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(txt)

# add in the latest plot-ly js as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/38033016/2805700
js_src = soup.new_tag("script", src="https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-latest.min.js")
# insert it into the document
soup.head.insert(0, js_src)

# save the file again
with open(filename, "w") as outf:
    outf.write(str(soup))
