all by using the code below (link checked, it is correct) I get an HTML file as a result instead of .csv if I were to use a browser like Chrome.

import urllib.request
urllib.request.urlretrieve('https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239726/ishares-core-sp-500-etf/1467271812596.ajax?filetype=csv&filename=ivv_holdings&datatype=fund', "file.csv")

What would be a good solution to this?

THe problem is you have not been careful about the spelling. You have filename, filetype and datatype, whereas the site requires fileName, fileType, and dataType. The capitalization must match.
