Are you using php?

If so, you could use the CURL functions to pull in the page content and then extract whatever information you need from the created string.

The just echo that result onto your page!

If you are into perl, as well, there are many, many, many other options. For cURL, a simple google search would have been okay, but here are a few links: http://www.higherpass.com/php/Tutorials/Using-Curl-To-Query-Remote-Servers/ http://phpsense.com/php/php-curl-functions.html http://coderscult.com/php/php-curl/2008/05/20/php-curl-tutorial-and-example/
