David, I had a conversation with the product manager responsible for Google Postmaster Tools some time ago, and he said that they had deliberately chosen a URL structure for GPT’s UI to make it easier for us to construct a scraper. He encouraged scraping as an alternative to the long-hoped-for API. Good luck with your project. Let us know how it progresses.
