How to click a webpage button without going on the webpage

I am attempting to semi-automate my department's workflow, and part of it includes this project I'm doing. The sections I am currently struggling with is "clicking" a button on a webpage.
The webpage has data in a grid (looks like an Excel sheet) and has multiple pages that I want to parse out and use as data for the automation, and there is a button on the webpage that, when clicked, converts all the pages of that data into an Excel sheet and saves it where I need on my computer. I want to constantly update that Excel sheet with the changes as more data is added to the webpage.
However, I do not want to always have that webpage open and have automatic button presses that constantly saves the webpage to Excel. Rather, I want to have it running "in the background" so the only progress I see is the Excel sheet getting updated. Is there a way to "click" that 'Convert to Excel' button without actually going on the webpage to do it?
I was looking at Python libraries like Requests and bs4, but I'm not sure which methods might be applicable for this, if those are even what I should be looking for.

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://example.com")
button = driver.find_element_by_id('buttonID')
button.click()

What you want is called a robot and for Python I highly recommend looking into Selenium. Just google for python selenium tutorial or start by reading this: https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/getting-started.html#simple-usage

click certain button using mechanize

I'm trying to click a button with python and mechanize. The button looks like this:
<span>VOTE NOW!</span>
when going to the link manually, (www.example.com/#vote). It doesn't work. For some reason, it needs to click the button in the browser. I believe it runs a js script as when you click the button a small menu appears, with a form.
I've tried to look at what the form is, and what my script grabs from the main site, and don't find anything close to #vote.
I need to be able to click the button, to access the form, and submit data to the form, but can't find what to 'click'.

Selenium is a python module that can interact with web-page resources, so that's an easy way to execute JavaScript code from within Python.

How can I switch from one web page to other?

I want to create a webpage. In it there is a go_to button named goto_button. Whenever the user presses this button the new webpage will be called and the old one will be destroyed. To do this, I have to put a button on the web page, in the html file. However how can I switch from one web page to another? The go_to webpage address is www.kleol.com
if button is pressed
go to web-page kleol // how can I do that?
NOTE: I am new to Django.

Simple HTML tag like the following will work:
Go to Kleol
There's nothing that is django related.It is simple html.
