title: downloading data using a blob link
body: <p>using data from this website: <a href="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-daily-covid-deaths?tab=map" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-daily-covid-deaths?tab=map</a></p>
  
  <p>I am trying to interact with the link 'total-daily-covid-deaths.csv' which has the href link 'blob:<a href="https://ourworldindata.org/b1c6f69e-4df4-4458-8aa0-35173733b364" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ourworldindata.org/b1c6f69e-4df4-4458-8aa0-35173733b364</a>'. After clicking on the link I am taken to a page with a lot of data and I am merely trying to write a python script to take that data and put it into a csv file for me to use. While researching this I found that there was an overwhelming amount of information and I got confused very quickly. I have experience web scraping using beautiful soup and requests however I haven't been able to get it working since the blob link isn't an actual website. I was hoping someone could shed some light for me and point me in the right direction.</p>
  
  <p>This is the code I'm using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import urllib.request as request
  
  url = 'https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-daily-covid-deaths?tab=map'
  # fake user agent of Safari
  fake_useragent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5355d Safari/8536.25'
  r = request.Request(url, headers={'User-Agent': fake_useragent})
  f = request.urlopen(r)
  
  # print or write
  print(f.read())
  </code></pre>
