Download pnly latest sequences from GenBank

Hi All,

I am developing a webserver that would run a pipeline at every update of GenBank. After every update, I would like to download only those sequences that were added during the last update. Is it possible to do programatically without downloading the whole database? If yes, how?

Thank you for any advice!
