You could create data objects in your wrapper app that are just proxies for the other services then. Since you know they won't change underneath you, you can literally scrape the HTML and use it as a poor man's API. Nokogiri is where I would start with this, since it can turn any janky HTML into a clean object tree. But I am curious -- what made adding an API to the two other apps such an ordeal? Are they older Rails versions? Not your work and too much hassle to untwist? (Not critical to your answer, just asking.)
