The value type is the type of value to extract.
 * 0 - for the skill rank.

Updating a user's Hiscore Data pages
Users can periodically update their Hiscore Data pages by doing the following:
 * 1) Go to the web page  http://services.runescape.com/m=hiscore_oldschool/index_lite.ws?player=  (where the   is replaced with the player's RuneScape username).
 * 2) Copy the contents of the page (e.g. using Ctrl-C).
 * 3) Go to user's own Hiscore Data sub-page.
 * 4) Edit the Hiscore Data page.
 * 5) Select any existing text in the edit box.
 * 6) Paste in the new data.
 * 7) Save the changes.

All pages making use of the user's hiscore data should then be automatically updated.
