API Connection & Data Return to MySQL

My client has sent me specs for a direct API to request data form their web page rather than the scraping I currently do to get data. I need the following: 1) Someone to set up and access the site using the API 2) Build scripts to load the XML returned into our MySQL Database 3) Make the process executable by someone less technically adept. My timeline for this is pretty short. I have all of the specs for the API and a contact at the vendor if needed. Thank you.
