Retrieving segment definitions via API

We want to document and track versions of SiteCatalyst segment definitions outside of the system.

The way we do this now is copy/pasting from the information window in SiteCatalyst but it's inefficient and prone to errors (e.g. marking exclusion blocks).

Looking a bit further into it I can see that when the information icon is clicked to view the segment definition it actually retrieves a json object from an appservice:

https://appservice1.omniture.com/analytics/1.0/segments/?expansion=definition

Which looks like this (apologies for this formatting):

{

"id": "53aaaf4ce4b0acd00fa0563b",
"name": "",
"description": null,
"rsid": "",
"owner
":{
- "id": 440376
},
"definition
":{
- "container":{
  "context": "hits",
  "func": "container",
  "pred":{
  "val":{
  "description": "Pages (Conversion) (evar7)",
  "name": "variables/evar7",
  "func": "attr"
  },
  "str": "",
  "func": "streq"
  }
  },
- "func": "segment",
- "version":[
  1,
  0,
  0
  ]
}

}

When calling that url with a different segment id the response returns access denied (as it should). I would like to be able to download all json responses from any report suite for all segments though. Either through calling this service or via the SC API.
