Connect online CSV that automatically downloads to computer. No link available.

I am trying to create a report with the data from this link:

https://directory.house.gov/#/

 

Web connect does not work with this link but there is an "Export Data" on the left side bar that works to move the data into a CSV file. The issue is that when you click the "Export Data" button on the side it automatically downloads the file. 

 

I am trying to connect this to a PBI report by connecting a web link but I cannot find a web link to connect it to. There is no option to copy link when I right click the button or page inspect. 

 

Is there a way to find the link to this file to connect to PBI?

The file you're talking about comes from "blob:https://directory.house.gov/6a0927c6-7952-4518-b81b-968711192bc8". No way to get a direct link to it. Sorry. But I guess you could use a bit of Python (straight from Power Query) to download the file and then load it in.
