How to download a CSV file via Excel macro plus choose the type of the file

Question

I have a working macro, I just download an excel from a website, then I can use it. I need a similar file but the download icon doesn't have an own 'path' and I need to choose the format type. Can I solve with the below macro, or it's more complicated. Can you help?

Sub first()
   
Dim myURL As String, sFilename As String
    myURL = "https://www.mnb.hu/letoltes/bubor2.xls"
    
    sFilename = "****\" & "file.xls"
   
    Dim WinHttpReq As Object, oStream As Object
    Set WinHttpReq = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
    WinHttpReq.Open "GET", myURL, False ', "username", "password"
    WinHttpReq.Send
   
    myURL = WinHttpReq.ResponseBody
    If WinHttpReq.Status = 200 Then
        Set oStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
        oStream.Open
        oStream.Type = 1
        oStream.Write WinHttpReq.ResponseBody
        oStream.SaveToFile sFilename, 2  ' 1 = no overwrite, 2 = overwrite
        oStream.Close
    End If
End Sub

Run this code and see if the data is what you are looking for;

Sub Test()
    Dim objHTTP As Object
    Dim strJSON As String
    Dim URL As String, r As Integer, c As Integer
    Dim regExp As Object, RetVal As Object

    Range("A1:R" & Rows.Count) = ""
    Range("A1:R1").Font.Bold = True
    
    Set objHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
    URL = "https://data.ecb.europa.eu/data-detail-api/FM.M.U2.EUR.RT.MM.EURIBOR3MD_.HSTA"

    objHTTP.Open "GET", URL, False
    objHTTP.send
       
    Range("A1:R1") = Array("OBS", "SERIES", "OBS_VALUE_ENTITY", "UNIT", "PERIOD_ID", "OBS_POINT", "OBS_COM", "TREND_INDICATOR", _

    If objHTTP.Status = 200 Then
        strJSON = objHTTP.responseText
