accessing a file embedded on a web page

Can I access a file throught Power Query that is embedded on a web page? 

 

I am trying to set up a link to an Excel file that is embedded on a web page. I need to link to the historic and current oil prices from a US Energy website ( https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_spt_s1_d.htm ). The isue is that the data is contained in an Excel file that is embedded on their web page, and the only way I'm curerently able to assess it is to manually download it and then manipulate it in Power Query. Instead I want to automatically open the file and load the data into Power Query when I Refresh my PowerBI model. Is there any way to get Power Query to automatically go out an open the file and read the data for me?
