[LON-CAPA-admin] Scripting exports of exam grade results

We have a need for a new placement exam that will be running
continuously throughout the semester. The examinations will be
drop-in and proctored and the final grade results sent to our student
information system for processing (eg. student X got ## points of
out 30, on this date).
At this point, our baseline operation would be: at the end of some
time period (eg. daily or weekly) the proctor would export the grades
to a CSV file (or whatever) and put those files 'somewhere' to be
reformatted and later picked up by the student information system.
We'd like to avoid the human process of the export and automate the
export of graded results from these exams on a periodic basis via
cron, etc.
Has anybody done something similar? I've been looking for an
'advertised' method for getting the grades for a particular exam in
the modules, but I haven't found one yet. Hopefully I haven't missed
anything too painfully obvious ;-)
