Hello everyone,
I hope you are all well.

I'm trying to automatically save data from this graphical presentation in this link:

https://weather.com/weather/radar/intera...382f593cc4

and this one:

https://midcdmz.nrel.gov/apps/gdisplay.pl?UAT


I want to do this through python. I tried using : tables_list = pd.io.html.read_html(url)
but with no luck.

What is the right way to do it ?
Thanks a lot
NREL at the very least has an API (at the bottom of https://midcdmz.nrel.gov/, there's a link titled "Developers") and you should look for one for the weather site. Essentially, an API allows you to make HTTP requests, returning data in a way that's easy for the machine to parse (e.g. JSON).
