I'm curious if anyone has done any web site scrapers to put data on the sets. I've got a few routines displaying some data on my Aastra sets now. That's the easy part.
One I'd like to get is my Virgin Mobile prepaid account balance. Since it's https, it's not as simple as passing the user/password as a variable. A little more work would be required. I could think of a dozen things like this to use... Bank & Credit card balance monitoring for rapid fraud detection Any Voip or cellular account prepaid balance - avoid those embarrassing 0 balance call termination events Anything where you'd like to monitor balances, etc....I see use for this. LesNet has provided a simple URL based lookup that will do it for you: http://les.net/api/balance.php?id_account=xxxxx&password=yyyyy where xxxxx and yyyyy are your account/password respectively. A simple CURL statement makes that data useful. You could program your system to update the data daily or triggered on an activity. I remember a couple years ago a similar discussion across the TLUG group but can't find it any longer. Any ideas?
