Here's an equivalent in Python:

import io
import requests 
import zipfile

url = "https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2018/shp/cb_2018_us_state_20m.zip"

r = requests.get(url, stream=True)
z = zipfile.ZipFile(io.BytesIO(r.content))
z.extractall("maps")

Thank you for your response!

What if I don't save the zip code? I want to call the geo and then after preparing some queries, save a new database which includes geometry (longitude/latitude).
