I wanted to try use the method described here (in the updated answer) to scrape the table on this page.
When I inspect the webpage, I can see there is a table on the page. However when I try to use the method from a previous SO answer by doing:
for i in range(10,15):
webpage = 'http://www.peptide-ligand.cn/show/' + str(i)
r = requests.get(webpage)
df_list = pd.read_html(r.text) # this should all the tables in webpages to a list according to previous SO answer
df = df_list[0]
print(df)
The output is
raise ValueError("No tables found")
ValueError: No tables found
But I can see from inspecting the page that there is a table? Could someone point to where I'm going wrong?
I saw this answer, but I don't understand why i'd have to use selenium, and the above method doesn't work.
