Authenticate on a website and Screen scraping with objective-c

Question

I'm developing an iPhone application where I wish to authenticate (login form) on a site and retrieve some information by doing some screen scraping. Is there an API available to do this or documentation how I could do this?

thanks

See the docs for NSURLRequest

ASIHTTPRequest is a fantastic alternative to NSURLRequest, and the linked page has some great code examples to get you started on the right track.
