Hi Jianguo
If you prefer to flat files, we also provide EMF dumps in Ensembl: ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-66/emf/ensembl-compara/homologies/
EMF is a column-based multiple alignment format. Read more on this at: ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-66/emf/ensembl-compara/epo_6_primate/README.emf

Your question is very ambiguous. Please try to more specific so that we can help.
I think ensembl compara has an API but I never used it before. That might be what you want.
Yes. I know API can do this job. But I don't know how to use API.
it works just like any API, you have to program a little bit to get things. In general, it looks like a perl interface to mysql databases (so if you know perl DBI, it works just like that). Here is the tutorial: http://useast.ensembl.org/info/docs/api/compara/compara_tutorial.html
Thank you so much.
