How to download excel file from a webpage?

I would like to create a pipeline which downloads excel file from this webpage https://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/eia861m/#salesrevenue every month. I am currently using web scraping and python to download the excel file. Can we do webscraping or is there any special Snap ?

    The new community platform didn't quite know how to deal with the .slp file extension. Pipelines need to be zipped before uploaded to this community platform.
    Let me find it in the backup.
