Title: Simple query request
Post by dave1216 on Jul 16th, 2005 at 6:21pm
Hi,

Would it be possible to add a search feature where i can simply enter the url:
http://www.saynoto0870.com/numbersearch.php?0870xxxxxx

and a plain text response comes up with the cheapest number?

Thanks,
Dave

hehe,  Yes i am!

It's actually because i want to set up my PBX/Phone to automatically query the URL and return the geo number.

Maybe just a pipedream!

I'm afraid that's all it will be sunshine. It's too open to abuse & therefore cannot be provided.   :o

Thanks anyway Dave.

I know it been asked before, but can the whole table be provided so i can perform the query offline.  Therefore saynoto0870 stands no chance of being abused!

;)

Sorry but that's why that was stopped also. People abusing it by pinching the data & claiming it to be theirs on their websites.   :-/

Not wishing to undermine the stability of the site, but it's possible to use other techniques to retieve information from a variety of sites - it can do cookies to fake logins, etc. As far as the site is concerned, it's just a normal query from a browser, so there's no way to prevent it.
