Is there an API?

I'm wondering if there is an API for automagically getting my run data from RunKeeper to my own personal website?

Nike+ used to have one, and a lot of stuff on my website got its data from it, but they pulled the plug on it today.

I used to pull an XML file from a perticular URL once an hour, and it gave me a runID to distinguish them, the date & time I started the run, my run time and distance. It had other information too, but I never used anything else.

    The heathgraph API isn't quite it - that method doesn't provide a way to upload GPS TCX files (like you can on the RunKeeper site with the flash client), for example.

    I also see from mailing list discussions that it adjusts the data in different way than if you did process the TCX file yourself and use the HG API to upload the route. For example, the way it handles detecting pauses in the travel.

    So I'm still looking for a way to, really simply with a single POST, upload a new GPS trace when I get back from a trip. If I could do that, then when I connect my watch, it can upload to RK automatically. Right now I have to click through and use the flash client manually each time.
