Extract tables from webpage

Open vinayak-mehta opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Tables can be extracted from a webpage using pandas.read_html. We can create an interface 1) simple: where user can submit the link of the webpage and download extracted tables or 2) fancy: where user can submit the link of the webpage, see detected tables (on an image of the webpage?), un-select the tables they don't want and then download extracted tables.
