I've created a scraper that scrapes upgrades data from the encyclopedia. The code runs directly from the browser console (of Firefox in Firebug, to be more precise, but it should run in that of other browsers too I think), though adapting it to be used with node.js, using cheerio as the parser and request for shouldn't be too hard either.
It should have every upgrade currently available to players, except the Slip N' Run card, whose encyclopedia page is returning 404 for some reason. The scraper runs into the rate limiter very quickly, so it runs fairly slowly. If you're running this yourself, you might want to go out and have a cup of tea while waiting for it.
The code and data can be found in this GitHub gist: https://gist.github.com/3313374/
Protip: In the browser console, you can use the copy function to copy data directly to your clipboard. Use copy(JSON.stringify(data)); to copy the data after the code has finished running.
