Description
Hi There,
This is more a question rather than a bug report.
Currently, I am using the Camelot command-line interface to [extract the table x-y coordinates](https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/advanced.html#text).
I then use the extracted table x-y coordinates to get the[ specific table areas ](https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/advanced.html#specify-table-areas).
I can use the command-line interface to get the x-y coordinates of the table and then extract the table based on the `table_areas` parameter in `Camelot.read_pdf()`.
My question is how can I eliminate using the command-line interface and get the x-y coordinates via HTML (Thinking of using via Flask or FastAPI).

Research direction
Start with Camelot's advanced documentation on extracting table x-y coordinates through the command-line interface and the table_areas parameter in Camelot.read_pdf(). Determine whether the requested HTML workflow is usage guidance or a new Flask/FastAPI interface; done means coordinates can be obtained without the CLI and used to specify table areas.
