# Lets go ahead and scrape first table with HTML code gdp[0] | |
table1 = gdp[0] | |
# the head will form our column names | |
body = table1.find_all("tr") | |
# Head values (Column names) are the first items of the body list | |
head = body[0] # 0th item is the header row | |
body_rows = body[1:] # All other items becomes the rest of the rows | |
# Lets now iterate through the head HTML code and make list of clean headings | |
# Declare empty list to keep Columns names | |
headings = [] | |
for item in head.find_all("th"): # loop through all th elements | |
# convert the th elements to text and strip "\n" | |
item = (item.text).rstrip("\n") | |
# append the clean column name to headings | |
headings.append(item) | |
