Building some webcrawler functionality in Nodejs. Im trying to download a file that a website has as an option to be exported as csv

you can see the button for the 'export to CSV' here: "http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/last-72-hours"

and once you click on the button, it will take you to another link: "http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/last-72-hours"

I want my script to download and save that CSV file. I've looked into a few things as far as getting the information I need, such as standard DOM-based web crawling, but then I get a shortened dataset.
