By clicking "Download List" button

, a CSV file can be downloaded from a web portal. I tried to extract the data by using HTTPCaller. However, the url is not in the html

and the CSV is generated with JavaScript.

Does anyone know how to extract data?

Thanks!

I'm guessing there's a bit of JavaScript code that's executed in your browser when clicking on that button, you may have to dig in from that angle.

Try using something like the Chrome or Firefox developer tools to inspect the network traffic in the browser when clicking on the button. There's a faire chance that you would see the URL there.

As it is, we don't have enough information here to give a specific answer.
