I'm a bit of a junior programmer and I'm looking for an easy way to retrieve results files from active.com. I'm in a local running club and each week I put together a list of how our runners fared in various races. I wrote a very simple program (using REXX) to search a text file and pull out our runners. This is very easy when races post their results in a text file. But then a race like the Cooper River 10k, with 33,000 runners, posts the results on active which only lets a web user retrieve 100 results at a time.
So, can anyone tell me how I can retrieve the entire results file from Active? Here's an example (the Cooper River 10k) of what I'm talking about:
Thanks for any help! And please keep in mind, I'm not an html programmer.

Unfortunately we don't have an API that support results (even in file format). It is on our roadmap, however, and we should have something rolled out by Q4.
