As the other answer says, this method won't wait for the page to load so you'd need to use something like Selenium.

This answer seems to be doing exactly what you want it to do.

This page have a load screen, and pd.read_html() read the first html he gets (the load screen html without any tables).

You can try get the tables using a scraping library, like selenium.
