The way I found easiest was to use the Vault's built-in RSS feed.  Point
a web browser (or RSS aggregator) at:
http://<YourServer>/VaultService/VaultWeb/rss2.aspx?login=<username>&pas
sword=<password> and go to town.  It should be trivial to write an XSLT
transformation to parse the data into whatever format you'd like.

I keep an eye on our checkins throughout the day using my aggregator,
and have published the feed to our internal web portal so that others
can see what is going on in real-time.
