converting an HTML table in Pandas Dataframe
Question:
I am reading an HTML table with pd.read_html but the result is coming in a list, I want to convert it inot a pandas dataframe, so I can continue further operations on the same. I am using the following script
import pandas as pd
import html5lib
data=pd.read_html('http://www.espn.com/nhl/statistics/player/_/stat/points/sort/points/year/2015/seasontype/2',skiprows=1)
and since My results are coming as 1 list, I tried to convert it into a data frame with
data1=pd.DataFrame(Data)
and result came as
0
0 0 1 2 3 4...
and because of result as a list, I can’t apply any functions such as rename, dropna, drop.
I will appreciate every help
Answers:
I think you need add [0] if need select first item of list, because read_html return list of DataFrames:
So you can use:
import pandas as pd
data1 = pd.read_html('http://www.espn.com/nhl/statistics/player/_/stat/points/sort/points/year/2015/seasontype/2',skiprows=1)[0]
print (data1)

If your dataframe ends up with columns indexed as 0,1,2 etc and the headings in the first row, (as above) just specify that the column names are in the first row with header=0
Without this, pandas may see a mix of data types – text in row 1 and numbers in the rest and cast the column as object rather than, say, int64.
Full line would be:
data1 = pd.read_html(url, skiprows=1, header=0)[0]
[0] is the first table in the list of possible tables.
There are options for handling NA values as well. Check out the documentation here:
https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.read_html.html
I know this is late, but here’s a better way…
I noticed that the DataFrames in the list are all part of the same table/dataset you are trying to analyze, so instead of breaking them up and then merging them together, a better solution is to contact the list of DataFrames.
Check out the results of this code:
df = pd.concat(pd.read_html('https://www.espn.com/nhl/stats/player/_/view/goaltending'),axis=1)
output:
df.head(1)
