The V-Bulletin software publishes the database credentials inside of the web root as part of a settings file. You should be able to gain access to the web root from the web host with the correct validation or access to a company email address. From there, search where the settings php file is containing the credentials to the database and read them out. Use them to log into the database. I don't know why the other comments aren't suggesting this as a first step. You should not need a scraper to read the content back out. I've performed this procedure many times with VBulletin and other similar software like PHPBB and SMF, admittedly a decade back at this point.
