As a part of my job, I need to check this page for specific documents regularly. What I found was that I could use pandas' method read_html to successfully read the table into dataframe (which is handy as I could easily query specific documents by the keywords).
The problem I have now is that this method cannot parse links that I need, and saves plain text instead (specifically I'm referring to the second columns which have numbers like '1682/0/15-19').
The code I came up with was very simple:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_html('http://www.vru.gov.ua/act_list')[0]
Which gives me a dataframe with all info I need except for the links.
Is it possible to somehow get links instead of plain text, and if so, how could I do it?
I know that had I used Requests and BeautifulSoup libraries, it would have been possible to get href links, but I don't know BeautifulSoup library good enough to do it. Any tips or should I just learn BeautifulSoup?
