Dunno about downloading but https://greyhoundbet.racingpost.com/ goes back 5 years historically.

https://www.gbgb.org.uk/racing/results goes back further and you can list by track on there.

I already use these but the data has to be accessed manually. I'd like to save time by downloading the data automatically, even if there's a cost.

It's a steep learning curve, particularly if you have little or no programming experience.
The results can be web scraped using a python script, grabbing the data from the gbgb api

List of races on a day
"https://api.gbgb.org.uk/api/results?page=1&itemsPerPage=200&date=2022-04-12&race_type=race"

Example of a meeting link
"https://api.gbgb.org.uk/api/results/meeting/384072?meeting=384072"

If you copy the links into Firefox, the resulting JSON should display in a workable format
