Now, as to having screen-scraper perform the extraction instead of my cludgy combination of sample Google API Javascript & PHP, well... I'm sure it is possible, but probably not necessary since so much of the heavy lifting is being handled by Javascript. When asked to scrape a site where the data is made available via an API it is really a coin toss as to whether we will use screen-scraper for the job since each request and response is expected to be very structured.
Hope this helps.
