Parse a table from wikipedia that is hidden

Question

I’am pretty new here.
I want to parse a table from wikipedia from a following link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIUI

I was able to parse first table, but I can’t figure out how to get the information from the second table there, the information that contains "version history" of MIUI browser.
Is there a way to parse it into a datafram? to get the version of browser in one column and Date of Release in the second column?

Thank you!

so far I have tried this, but it doesn’t return anything:
Can’t get the tabl’s information.

url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIUI'
response = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')

table = soup.find('table', class_='wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-no-collapsible jquery-tablesorter mw-made-collapsible')

Answer 1

Table is not hidden, but missing some dynamic class names, so you have to select more specififc based on in response available data.

You could read the table directly via pandas.read_html() picking it by index:

import pandas as pd
pd.read_html('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIUI',displayed_only=False)[2]

or matching content match='Version':

import pandas as pd
pd.read_html('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIUI',displayed_only=False, match='Version')[0]
