Never did this myself, but check out Indy. They are freeware and have
components that can rip a webpage.

If your server runs PHP, is there an option to export as XML to some kind of
Stream? Than you could use XMLpartner (freeware from TurboPower) to get your
data. You could also get the script to export to an ascii file (php can do
that) and import that asci in your app.
