Downloading XML for USPTO patents

How can the XML (or its ZIP file) for a USPTO number (e.g. 8978162) be downloaded? Can this be done programmatically (API) and/or manually?

The weekly releases (ca 6,000 entries) contain the type of information I want but not for a specific number. Thus the entry for 8978162 is found in the weekly release as I20150317/UTIL08978/US08978162-20150317/US08978162-20150317.XML.
