Hey Hi

You can use webview which is an inbult api for the android you can use it and get the complete wesite in your android app you even run the whole website on your app too.

to call any of the website use the below snnipet

check it..

oncreate

webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
startWebView("http://www.abc.com");

outside of oncreate

create a method startWebView

private void startWebView(String url) {
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() 
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);


//Load url in webview
webView.loadUrl(url);
}

Best approach is to use their Services which are exposed to public use. Services Every time a user open your app Service will be hit and fresh updated data will be loaded to your app.
