I am trying to read data of tables from the following website: https://cdn.ime.co.ir , using the following code:

Python

import requests
    import urllib.request
    import time
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    
    url = 'https://cdn.ime.co.ir'
    response = requests.get(url)
    
    soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "html.parser")

But when I check the content of `soup` the data of the tables that I need to read aren't in there!

This is one of the tables that I like to read it's data that will be shown by clicking on it's above bar.

Chances are high that the tables are dynamically loaded by some JavaScript code on the website. But that still means that there has to be a network request that you can make to fetch the data. Open your browser's web developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and see if there are any requests that load these tables. Inspect the content of those and see how you can parse those in your Python script.
