You can very easily download a web page with Java:
        try {
            HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection)(new URL("http://compsci.ca/")).openConnection();
            urlc.connect();

            DataInputStream d = new DataInputStream(urlc.getInputStream());
            byteIt downloads all the content into a byte array, which you must then turn into strings.  Afterwards you can scrape the resulting HTML in the strings in order to find what you need.

I think the HttpURLConnection and DataInputStream are in the java.net and java.io packages, respectively.

download and retrieve (all of) data from a webpage are the same thing.

so you read the webpage, and then you can parse whatever specific data that you need from it.

by looking at the url link you give from your post http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=spike_x41 
god knows what does number means, so how is it able to get the highscore? unless you know what it means, then you still have to download the webpage, and do some work there
