How to read tables of the page, not the whole content

[Pankaj Kumar]

API I am using is like -> https://my_domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MT/pages/123/mytesttable | python -mjson.tool

I have an example, like above on the confluence page. By using API I can read this page. But the HTML returned from the confluence API is too large and the whole HTML page. I want to read only the table (or tables) of the page. The response can be HTML or JSON, I am fine with both. 

Could you please help.

You need to extract the content of the HTML page. This is not something you would easily do on a command line in shell. You will need to properly script a solution using a HTML parser (probably in python) and get the content of each column within the confluence page content of that table. Then you can translate the output to whatever format you prefer.
