You need to use a web crawler that can trigger the button pushed event such as Python Scrapy. If you are a Perl person then I used to use www-mechanize.

What I want to do is to download the resulting .csv file using wget. But I keep getting an empty .csv file when using wget (I've tried several suggestion I got on the Web). I know a .csv file is generated somewhere because I get it when I click the CSV button online. Any suggestions? Have a peaceful Holy Week!
