@Stef_99,

You will have to use WebDriver for this. Here is one of the finest tutorial for this.

Headless Browser Automation using UiPath | Explained Open Browser & Use Application/Browser Activity

Hello, What is Headless Browser? A headless browser is a web browser without a graphical user interface. Headless browsers provide automated control of a web page in an environment similar to web browsers, but they are executed using a command-line interface or using network communication.

As this will be invisible you cannot click on it. You have option to set it automatically download it to default Download folder and retrieve from there on the latest timestamp basis.

If you have to click on any button on webpage use input method SimulateClick

Documentation:

Headless automation does not rely on visual elements. As such, the WebDriver protocol doesn’t actually open a visible browser window when it is used in Headless mode. Because of this, Headless automation cannot function with some activities which use hardware events (such as Click or Type Into) in their default state. They must be configured to use the SimulateClick, SimulateType, or SimulateHover properties, or the Send Window Messages property.

It save default path.

Hey @Stef_99

Just goto the Chrome browser → Three Dots(Top Right)–> Settings → Downloads → Change the Default location path & turn off Ask Where to Save option!

Screenshot for your reference:

Now you are good to go!, the file will be saved in your destination location.
