Read/use data coming from http connection

I'm writing a program in vb.net that works with online poker programs and
I'm exploring capturing incoming data such as cards dealt, pot amount,
etc. - and use that data in my program.

Not really sure where to start - looking for high-level direction.

Is "screen-scraping" a possibility? If so, generally, how does that work?

Or is the above approach more effective?

thanks for any thoughts.
