Hello @BRRLL99.

The data in the table are loaded with JavaScript. I believe the Download tool does not support web scraping this type of web page.

However, I've attached an example using the Python tool. This downloads the data in the same structure as that shown on the web page.

To recreate this, you will need to install the selenium library for Python.

Please let me know if this helps.

download means, 

Should i use any other sources to download

or should I write within code?

@BRRLL99. I'm not sure what you mean by that. The Python tool and the R tool can download that data. I don't believe the Download tool works on websites whose pages are loaded with JavaScript. I would just use the Python tool.
