This seems to be a nice service with a lot of options. I have'nt tried it yet, but I think it's worth the look.

    Welcome to <B>Dapper</B>, a new service which makes it easy to
    extract content from any website.
    <A href="%23">Read more</A>
    or 
    <A href="http://dapper.wordpress.com/2006/06/23/dapper-unleash-your-creativity/">see our blog post</A>. 
    <SPAN id="more">
      Dapper allows you to create a "black box" (a <I>Dapp</I>) for any data 
      source on the Internet.  The Dapp produces XML which you can 
      use programatically in whatever way you like.  Additionally, Dapper
      provides you with the ability to transform this XML into other formats
      (e.g.: 
      <A href="http://www.dappit.com/transform.php?dappName=diggcom%26transformer=HTML">HTML</A>,
      <A href="http://www.dappit.com/transform.php?dappName=YahooTheaters%26transformer=GoogleMaps%26applyToUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fmovies.yahoo.com%2Fshowtimes%2F?z=01002%26extraArg_addressField=Theater_Address%26extraArg_detailsField%5B%5D=Theater_Name%26extraArg_detailsField%5B%5D=Theater_Address%26extraArg_detailsField%5B%5D=Theater_Link%26extraArg_geocoderVia=REST%26extraArg_displayMode=regular">Google Maps</A>,
      <A href="http://www.dappit.com/transform.php?dappName=diggcom%26transformer=RSS%26applyToUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fdigg.com%2F%26extraArg_title=storyTitle%26extraArg_description%5B%5D=storySummary%26extraArg_link=storyTitle%40href">RSS</A>,
      <A href="http://www.dappit.com/dapp-howto-use.php?dappName=YahooTheaters">more</A>).
