Hi @tom7 ,
If you can find a request that matches what you want and you add your vote to it then there is more chance of your request moving up the ranking of votes. I imagine your request matches this request. I am surprised that it has so few votes. It is worth reading the suggestions in that request. The excel trick might get you something to start with. And more downloads are available if you goto the API instructions you can use a browser to get all the data. It is not as simple as clicking a download link, but not impossible.
Cheers Ian
