How to get contents of Amazon shopping cart?

Question

I've been investigating whether it's possible to get a list of the saved items in my Amazon shopping basket programmatically ...

Their Product Advertising API has methods for getting wishlists:

and working with remote shopping carts:

http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/index.html?CHAP_WorkingWithRemoteShoppingCarts.html

but the shopping cart of items stored while on the Amazon web site is treated as a local shopping cart, and therefore is not accessible through the Product Advertising API.

According to the last link:

The opposite of a remote shopping cart is a local shopping cart, which is the shopping cart customers use while shopping on www.amazon.com. It is considered local because Amazon hosts the shopping web pages as well as the shopping cart. Product Advertising API operations work solely with remote shopping carts.

Has anyone found a way of getting the contents of the "local" cart, apart from scraping the HTML?

Thanks.
