I've done lots. There are 2 different ways of getting data from them. The first is if you have no cookie and are not logged in. In this case, you get back tables and a huge chunk of data. If you are logged in then you get back some really funky lists used as JS arrays that are a lot easier to parse. Try looking at the pages before and after logging in or getting a cookie. Very interesting. (personally, I do without the cookie as I really don't want them tracking my actions to my cookie) That being said, all you have to do is a long regex to parse out each row of the table they send back to get the data.
