Empty graph shown when using iplot from chart_studio insted of plotly

I am following a python tutorial about the use of plotly.

Here are some commands I have to run to import functions and methods I will use

import plotly.plotly as py
from plotly.offline import download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode, plot, iplot
init_notebook_mode(connected=True)

However, when I run commands on my jupyter nootbook, it says the use of plotly is deprecated and it recommends me to use the module chart_studio instead (error points to line import plotly.plotly as py):

ImportError: The plotly.plotly module is deprecated, please install the chart-studio package and use the chart_studio.plotly module instead.

So I run

pip install chart_studio

and try to replace the line above with functions and methods coming from the chart_studio module.

Here is my code:

import chart_studio.plotly as py
import plotly.graph_objects as go
from plotly.offline import download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode, plot, iplot
init_notebook_mode(connected=True)

data = dict(type= 'cloropleth', 
            locations = ['AZ','CA','NY'],
           locationmode = 'USA-states',
           colorscale = 'Portland',
           text = ['text 1','text 2','text 3'],
           z = [1,2,3],
           colorbar = {'Title':'Colorbar title goes here'})

mylayout = dict(geo={'scope':'usa'})

choromap = go.Figure(data = [data], layout=mylayout, skip_invalid=True)

iplot(choromap)

The problem is that, when running the final line iplot(choromap), I get this empty graph

enter image description here

While in the tutorial this other graph appears

What is wrong?

Please note that I installed cufflinks-0.17.3 plotly-4.5.4

Did you try to cleanly install plotly?

Uninstall plotly using pip

!pip uninstall plotly

Then uninstall plotly using conda

!conda uninstall plotly

After that, install the last version using pip

!pip install plotly

check Plotly version

import plotly
plotly.__version__

SOLVED

In my code there were 2 errors:

at line

type= 'cloropleth',

I had the mispelled value 'cloropleth', where the correct value is 'choropleth',

and then at line

colorbar = {'Title':'Colorbar title goes here'})

I had 'Title', where the correct key is 'title' (lowercase).

Fixed them and now the map is correctly displayed.

Also, it was not necessary to install chart_studio.

So in the end the correct code is:

import plotly.graph_objects as go
from plotly.offline import download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode, plot, iplot
init_notebook_mode(connected=True)

data = dict(type= 'choropleth', 
            locations = ['AZ','CA','NY'],
           locationmode = 'USA-states',
           colorscale = 'Portland',
           text = ['text 1','text 2','text 3'],
           z = [1,2,3],
           colorbar = {'title':'Colorbar title goes here'})

mylayout = dict(geo={'scope':'usa'})

choromap = go.Figure(data = [data], layout=mylayout)

iplot(choromap)
