There is an API you can use. To get started:

Lots of help and resources can be found here:

I agree with @PhilipDAth. Afair, there is no rule against screenscraping, as it is just a script impersonating a users movement in the dashboard.

Just don't expect the screen scraping script will work from day to day. The dashboard changes.
