public class CustomExpectedConditions {
    public static ExpectedCondition pageStateToBeReady() {
        return object -> (((JavascriptExecutor) getDriver()).executeScript("return document.readyState")).equals("complete");
    }
}

public static void pageToBeLoaded() {
        try {
            new WebDriverWait(getDriver(), TIMEOUT).until(CustomExpectedConditions.pageStateToBeReady());
        } catch (TimeoutException e) {
            log.info(e.getMessage(), e.getCause());
            throw new TimeOutError("Page is not loaded");
        }
    }

Use this code snippet. It will wait for page load. After it, data from API will be available.

the data never appear after complition of call or anything – Varun Chandra Nov 21 '19 at 07:07 — Varun Chandra, Nov 21 '19 at 07:07
