HTML Table
The HTML Table input task is a great tool for scraping individual tables from a webpage, but it can only pull data from a single table as opposed to the HTML Downloader. If only one table is needed from a webpage, then it is recommended to use this input task. While it is simpler to use than the HTML Downloader, this task still involves a level of technical understanding regarding webscraping in order to configure it.
