Using Firefox developer tools, monitoring the network calls.

you can see the json links if you use chrome's (or firefox's) developer's tab (dk.png) you just download them with okhttputils2 (dk.png). you'll have to parse the json to find the elements you're interested in, but once you know which files are the ones you need, you don't need the website (until somebody there changes the format and the links). there are 6 such files for that url (i only show the first 2).
