The other website should provide some API or Web Service. Otherwise I guess you can't.

Why cannot? Everything viewable by a user can be retrieved. This is called Web scraping.
I basically answered; your comment is of course credited.

Oh yes, I forgot that... Facepalm.

So, what exactly? Java or PHP or something else?

Decide if it should be Java or PHP or something else, read about Web scraping using one of these technologies. See also:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping[^].

[EDIT]

More exactly, learn to send HTTP request and receive HTTP response. Please see:

[END EDIT]

As Tadit Dash says, if some Web Service or some other API exists, use it.
