I’d look into using the R package data retrieval (https://github.com/USGS-R/dataRetrieval) for downloading data. You could download and write the data to a csv if you want excel to open it.

[OC] U.S. river conditions Jan 1st - Mar 31st, 2021 at USGS streamgages, animated
The gage and spatial data were processed in R using dataRetrieval, sf, sp, rgeos, and dplyr. The animation frames were created in R using standard base R graphics, then the frames were stitched together into a video using FFmpeg. Source code can be found on our gage conditions GitHub repository: https://github.com/USGS-VIZLAB/gage-conditions-gif.

Yes, there is, here is the link to the original post on GitHub for World Cities Data. That actually is a great idea, the data was originally posted 5 years and was too big. So the search filters will be very convenient!
