For starters, it's because you're calling it screen scraping when it isn't.
As far as your question goes, the answer is that the data is likely stored in a database on their own site, much like a search engine stores web pages for results. They either have an automated or manual process whereby they gather the data into the database (likely automatic) and then it's there for others to use.
There's really not much more to it than that.
