If so, seems like a clever Greasemonkey could greatly help with that automation (might need an temporary cache there somewhere). Scrape your web report, stuff the data somewhere (locally), then on their site, read your cached data and populate their forms.

Yes, their system is browser based.

Greasemonkey would probably work fine as you described, but I would be more comfortable with an actual API when committing funds.

Even with an API, I would probably still want to review the transaction on the web UI before committing.
