Do you mean once, or whenever you want?

There is a forum post about using the Lua socket library:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=4935

In that it shows how you can pull in a web page as a variable. You could then parse that to extract the player names. Not a totally trivial exercise, but not too bad.
