Web scrapping using a single line of code in python

We will scrap the data of wikipedia using a single line of code in python. No extra libraries are required. Only Pandas can do the job.

Step 1: Install and import pandas library

import numpy as np 

Step 2: Read the data of web (here Wikipedia website) using pd.read_html('Website link here')[integer]

df = pd.read_html('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_by_country_and_territory')[1]

Step 3: View the data scrapped from the web

Step 4: In case there are multiple table within a web page, you can change the index value to an integer starting from 0 until you get your required data (i.e. [0] or [1] or [2] or [3] and so on).
