Depends on what forms you can find it in. If in a CSV file or
something similar, it should just be pulling it down via HTTP and
parsing the information. If it's in a table on a webpage, or series
of web pages, look into webpage "scraping." Normally, this
requires nothing more than a HTTP component and a way to
get at the data in the table. Either a web page parser, or some
other parsing scheme..
