If bash script weren't a stringent requirement, I would suggest python, perl or php. Python has a package called BeautifulSoup to do exactly this... (you will need to also import urllib for fetching the page). Google-ing for these could give you some ready made scripts as well.
For bash script, you will need to use curl and awk (alternatively use wget and grep) but will be time consuming to get it done right (while soup.find("span", {'id' : "yfs_l84_ge"}) within your python parser would get you your required element).
Here's a quick non-debugged python code:

python2.7-config
PYTHON-CONFIG(1) General Commands Manual PYTHON-CONFIG(1)NAME
python-config - output build options for python C/C++ extensions or embedding
SYNOPSIS
python-config [ --prefix ] [ --exec-prefix ] [ --includes ] [ --libs ] [ --cflags ] [ --ldflags ] [ --help ]
DESCRIPTION
python-config helps compiling and linking programs, which embed the Python interpreter, or extension modules that can be loaded dynamically
(at run time) into the interpreter.
OPTIONS --cflags
print the C compiler flags.
--ldflags
print the flags that should be passed to the linker.
--includes
similar to --cflags but only with -I options (path to python header files).
--libs similar to --ldflags but only with -l options (used libraries).
--prefix
prints the prefix (base directory) under which python can be found.
--exec-prefix
print the prefix used for executable program directories (such as bin, sbin, etc).
--help print the usage message.
EXAMPLES
To build the singe-file c program prog against the python library, use
gcc $(python-config --cflags --ldflags) progr.cpp -o progr.cpp
The same in a makefile:
CFLAGS+=$(shell python-config --cflags)
LDFLAGS+=$(shell python-config --ldflags)
all: progr
To build a dynamically loadable python module, use
gcc $(python-config --cflags --ldflags) -shared -fPIC progr.cpp -o progr.so
