I want to get the excel file from the data frame created which automatically changes as written in the code - dataframe

Question

i have tried two methods and both showing different location as given by me in this image
apikey='abcd'
import pandas as pd
from alpha_vantage.timeseries import TimeSeries
import time
ts=TimeSeries(key=apikey,output_format='pandas')
data,metadata=ts.get_intraday(symbol='name',interval='1min',outputsize='full')
data
while True:
data, metadata=ts.get_intraday(symbol='TCS',interval='1min',outputsize='full')
data.to_excel('livedat.xlsx')
time.sleep(60)
The code is running properly but I don't know how to get the data file in excel.
imp- the method should get the file which is updated timely i.e 1min automaticaly.
Also i am using IBM watson studio to write the code.

I am not familiar with the alpha_vantage wrapper that you are using however this is how i would perform your question. The code works and i have included comments.
To get the file in the python script i would do pd.read_excel(filepath).
import requests
import pandas as pd
import time
import datetime
# Your API KEY and the URL we will request from
API_KEY = "YOUR API KEY"
url = "https://www.alphavantage.co/query?"
def Generate_file(symbol="IBM", interval="1min"):
# URL parameters
parameters = {"function": "TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY",
"symbol": symbol,
"interval": interval,
"apikey": API_KEY,
"outputsize": "compact"}
# get the json response from AlphaVantage
response = requests.get(url, params=parameters)
data = response.json()
# filter the response to only get the time series data we want
time_series_interval = f"Time Series ({interval})"
prices = data[time_series_interval]
# convert the filtered reponse to a Pandas DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(prices, orient="index").reset_index()
df = df.rename(columns={"index": time_series_interval})
# create a timestampe for our excel file. So that the file does not get overriden with new data each time.
current_time = datetime.datetime.now()
file_timestamp = current_time.strftime("%Y%m%d_%H.%M")
filename = f"livedat_{file_timestamp}.xlsx"
df.to_excel(filename)
# sent a limit on the number of calls we make to prevent infinite loop
call_limit = 3
number_of_calls = 0
while(number_of_calls < call_limit):
Generate_file() # our function
number_of_calls += 1
time.sleep(60)
