I play a mmorpg called Final Fantasy XIV. I am trying to build a little application on our groups website called "Find a Crafter". It will show all of the different types of crafts (Blacksmith, Goldsmith, Alchemy, Woodworking, etc)
Final Fantasy XIV has a main website called Lodestone, that keeps real time information on everyone that plays' info. Here's an example
http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/rc/character/status?cicuid=5333806
What I need is some way to make an app that pulls the information from this site, and uses it in the app. I researched a little and noticed screen scraping may do something similar.
Here's an example of the finished app (created in MS Paint)

Can anyone help me with this?
This website here is somehow doing it, I'm looking at the sourcecode of the website but can't find any clues. The site makes signatures for forums with information from the Lodestone site.
