## Installation
```bash
pip install 'beautifulsoup4==4.5.3'
pip install html-table-extractor
```
## Usage
### Example 1 - Simple
<table><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr></table>
```python
from html_table_extractor.extractor import Extractor
table_doc = """
<table><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr></table>
"""
extractor = Extractor(table_doc)
extractor.parse()
extractor.return_list()
```
It will print out:
```python
[[u'1', u'2'], [u'3', u'4']]
```
### Example 2 - Transformer
<table><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr></table>
```python
from html_table_extractor.extractor import Extractor
table_doc = """
<table><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr></table>
"""
extractor = Extractor(table_doc, transformer=int)
extractor.parse()
extractor.return_list()
```
It will print out:
```python
[[1, 2], [3, 4]]
```
### Example 3 - Pass BS4 Tag
<table><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr></table>
```python
from html_table_extractor.extractor import Extractor
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
table_doc = """
<html><table id='wanted'><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr></table><table id='unwanted'><tr><td>not wanted</td></tr></table></html>
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(table_doc, 'html.parser')
extractor = Extractor(soup, id_='wanted')
extractor.parse()
extractor.return_list()
```
It will print out:
```python
[[u'1', u'2'], [u'3', u'4']]
```
### Example 4 - Complex
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan=2>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=3>5</td>
</tr>
</table>
```python
from html_table_extractor.extractor import Extractor
table_doc = """
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan=2>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=3>5</td>
</tr>
</table>
"""
extractor = Extractor(table_doc)
extractor.parse()
extractor.return_list()
```
It will print out:
```python
[[u'1', u'2', u'3'], [u'1', u'4', u'4'], [u'5', u'5', u'5']]
```
### Example 5 - Conflicted
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan=2>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td rowspan=3>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>5</td>
</tr>
</table>
```python
from html_table_extractor.extractor import Extractor
table_doc = """
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan=2>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td rowspan=3>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>5</td>
</tr>
</table>
"""
extractor = Extractor(table_doc)
extractor.parse()
extractor.return_list()
```
It will print out:
```python
[[u'1', u'2', u'3'], [u'1', u'4', u'3'], [u'5', u'5', u'3']]
```
### Example 6 - Write to file
<table><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr></table>
```python
from html_table_extractor.extractor import Extractor
table_doc = """
<table><tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr></table>
"""
extractor = Extractor(table_doc).parse()
extractor.write_to_csv(path='.')
```
It will write to a given path and create a new csv file called `output.csv`:
```
1,2
3,4
```
