Unless they have an API, you'd have to grab their HTML and parse it to get what you need.

if you know which part of the website you need, you can use cURL to 'grab' the specific part. However, the page will need to be reasonably 'static' or at least have a consistent structure has it is updated.
If you need RSS, you can use a number of services such as Google code.
