Pandas has a function pd.read_html() to get an HTML table from a website in one line of code.
For this example, I am using the website https://countrycode.org/ which has a simple HTML table with countries and their country codes.
The pandas function pd.read_html() can takes as little as one argument to work. All you need to do is pass in a website and see what happens. If successful, you will get a list of DataFrames that the function was able to scrape. Finally, you can return a single DataFrame by its index position. Pass [0] to get the first DataFrame from the list, for example.
country_codes = pd.read_html("https://countrycode.org/")[0]
country_codes
