Download using link from a web page

 I am trying to download historical Fx rates from https://lirarate.org/, when you scroll down, there is a trend chart which allows you to download historical data as per different options they provide (YTD is what I am looking for), and there is a button which lets users download the same in different file formats.

I want to download the XLS using that button , but there doesn't seem to be an underlying link exposed, that I can use for the download tool. Can someone help me how I can download this file and use for an input to my workflow.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @nischalvadari 

 

This is not a function that can be handled by the Download tool. The only way to navigate and click on elements is to use a webdriver in Python like Selenium. You can use the Python tool in Alteryx to trigger your webbot to download and output the data. 

 

Thanks!

Phil
