Get bitcoin historical data

I want to do my own bitcoin chart.

Would you know any reliable way to retrieve bitcoins historical price data? Is there any way to retrieve it using REST? I saw Bitfloor, which supports REST, but it is not returning any useful value, it has a "internal server error".

I saw also Bitcoincharts, but I think it's limited to 2000 data values.

Would you suggest me any framework or system to work about it?

Actually, you CAN get the whole Bitcoin trades history from Bitcoincharts in CSV format here : http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/csv/

it is updated twice a day for active exchanges, and there is a few dead exchanges, too.

EDIT: Since there are no column headers in the CSVs, here's what they are : column 1) the trade's timestamp, column 2) the price, column 3) the volume of the trade
