Your data could be retrieved from the website, but you don't need to go 
down to the level of a particular database. Perhaps the easiest way 
might be to work the data into a CSV (comma separated values) file and 
do an import into a new GRAMPS database. See:

Is your website public? I'd be glad to take a look at see what a Python 
script might look like.
