Thanks.
I had already introduced this minor adjustments in the code, but the real problem (to me) is the information that gets lost: the informative name of the columns, the indicator type and the units.

Maybe you should use their "download" facility rather than trying to deparse a complex webpage with lots of special user interaction "features":

Of course, for a single data set, I agree.
In my case, I need to download and analyze several tens of data sets and I need to be able to do this at regular time intervals, hence the need to automate also the download.
