Some of it is scraping, some of it is API.

I prefer Ruby for API access, usually integrated within a Ruby on Rails application.

Pick something simple to start with. For example - try to write to the Godaddy auction API, I just recently used that for my project. It's clean, well documented and will get you started on getting the experience you need.
