If Excel cannot be obtained through Python requests, there are a few things that can be done:

  1. Check if the URL used for the request is correct and the file exists at that location.

  2. Verify that the file format is supported by Python, such as .xlsx or .csv.

  3. Try using a different library or module to fetch the Excel file, such as pandas, openpyxl, or xlrd.

  4. If the Excel file is protected by a login or authentication, make sure to include the necessary credentials in the request headers or authenticate using an API.

  5. If the Excel file download is triggered by a button or JavaScript event, it may require using a headless browser like Selenium in Python to simulate a web browser and download the file.
