title: How to simulate a link being clicked through C# Windows Forms App, that locally generates a file?
body: <p>I am writing an application that analyzes multiple .csv files and gives an overview of all the data.</p>
  
  <p>The csv files I use are created when you click on a link at the host website, which I do not own, but have access to an API.</p>
  
  <p>Looking at the Network tab, when the button is clicked there is no file being generated/sent over the network which makes me believe the files are generated locally, if that is possible.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way for me to get these same results, through C#? I have attempted at using the <code>client.DownloadFile()</code> with the url of the link, but to no avail. </p>
  
  <p>Any tips/resources are appreciated!</p>
