Have you successfully used the 'content searching' part of the API? Didn’t work for me -- very basic queries would fail to return any results. It also lacks any specificity -- how do you do an advanced query with the API? Can you search by author and then limit to a certain publication year??? Probably not, but I can do that with screen scraping. I would love it if the API could do a /search?author=Simon+Brown&pubyear=2012 but I don't think it does that?

Another alternative is a simple SQL query [2]. Just ask if you need more details.
