I want to get the symbol and company from this url "https://www.set.or.th/set/commonslookup.do?language=en&country=US&prefix=A" However, it returns nothing and the response is [200]
print "hello from python 2"
from lxml import html
import requests
import csv
import pandas as pd
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.95 Safari/537.36'}
page = requests.get('https://www.set.or.th/set/commonslookup.do?language=en&country=US&prefix=A', headers=headers)
tree = html.fromstring(page.content)
tree1 = tree.xpath('//td/text()')
tree2 = tree.xpath('//td/a/text()')

The entire page contents is loaded via jquery. If you look at the content in your response, you will see there is very little other than a wrapper around a javascript call that that dynamically loads the page content.
page.content
# returns:
b'<html style="height:100%"><head><META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"><meta name="format-detection"
content="telephone=no"><meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0"><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=

Unfortunately, this means you will need to use a library that supports content loaded this way. Either Selenium with PhantomJS or you can try to use requests_html .
