Facebook Project Euler App

I was wondering if anyone has worked on developing a project euler facebook application that would display the number of problems you solved and possibly the most recent problem you solved so others can take a look at it and solve it themselves?

Is there any API to scrape your project euler profile information, I guess a server-side script could login to your account and retrieve your information.

I am interested in this as well. Not just for facebook, but for any page or app. I would like to include a line in my website that has the number of problems I have solved. It could be very simple, and not require authorization. Just a simple REST request that returned an xml or json doc that had the current score, problems solved, and last solved problem, etc. If it were done like this, it would be easy to access with php, javascript, python, etc. What do you think?

Hi,

Please see: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1466
I can make available a REST based interface if you need. Please let me know. Right now the service it talks to returns a JSONP response.
