It doesn't seem any more difficult than anything else. Pick your HTTP library of choice (I'm a Ruby guy, so Net::HTTP), set your UA to Firefox so you get XML instead of having the XSL applied server-side, then go get the data you want.

Appending &c=[id] to the character-achievements.xml URL gives you the detail view for each category. The IDs are listed in the summary URL.

I love the Armory for this stuff. You know the "API" (even though it may not be an official API) is going to have all the data you need because they eat their own dog food with it.
