Access SNPedia in Java

Question

[onemoreuser]

I'm accessing diferent databases to collect data for different variants found in a human sequence. One of the databases that I want to use is SNPedia. But I can't find any API to use. Is there a simple way to access this database without being directly?

SNPedia uses a (Semantic?) MediaWiki engine, so the API is http://snpedia.com/api.php (it works with json, xml...)
