API to access MapShare: Waypoints, Tracks, Messages?

Is there any API (even it can be named differently as API) to get Waypoints, Tracks, Messages sent by iR device to MapShare?

I am looking for any way like some URLs to get this data (at least Waypoints) available for machine-to-machine processing.

There was a more extensive document dating from the DeLorme days. I don't seem to be able to resurrect that at the moment. It's probably somewhat outdated in any case.

Thank you so much! Have researched KML for my account, and unfortunately it contains not too many data, as far as I can see only one recently sent message and my last know position (the same coordinates as this one message). No Waypoints at all. Probably I need to investigate data calls performed by MapShare or/and explore pages. Of course it will be not official data access, but better than nothing.

The KML feed is aimed at reporting events as the they occur, not as a general method of retrieving historical information.
