Automatically clicking 500+ links on a website

Question

I've requested my data from a popular social media app. There are photos they have saved and have provided download links to. I don't want to click each one individually.

What's the best option of automatically going down the entire page and "click" each download link? Python? JS?

Thanks.

Selenium or Puppeteer.
