Wikipedia-API is using extracts API call. For example, this page - List of masters world records in road running contains a lot of tables. However, when I try to load that page via API - there are no tables returned. There is a different API call - parse - that could be used and returns content as HTML with all the tags. Maybe this one could be used instead. :) |

Agreed. This is a highly popular action. Interesting will be the handling of frequently irregular shaped tables. I'm guessing something similar to pandas read_html handling? To make this really useful there would be the ability to target specific table(s) |

Should probably use Pandas along with fletcher to store Python objects in the Dataframe efficiently. |

Is it possible to create an API to extract tables from the wiki page?
