I can send you to the page, but you still need to log yourself in.

Now, theoretically it would be possible to log in and scrape the database (and, indeed, I've been in contact with people who have claimed to have done just that in months prior), but that doesn't require the API at all.
Yeah, I could code up an automator script to get safari to pull everything down, but that would still be my web browser getting the info.

On a related note, have you figured out what the code is to log in. obviously you'd want to post email and password but I still haven't figured out where that goes.
