interests by Banks

Hi to everyone,

a friend and i, we want to develop a small application just for fun.
the Application will need interest of different banks( about 20) to work properly. but the
problem is this : we dont want to enter this informations in the applications by ourself, we want the application to do it from its own. does everyone of us have a proposition which can help us to do this (so that we get this informations automaticaly). thx

Seems like it will be more work to try to automate a solution than it will be to simply look up the interests yourself.

get this informations automaticaly)

Do you mean you want a program to send a request to a URL and extract some information from the HTML page that is returned?

[1_gervais]

yes, something like that.
first is it possible?
and the second question is, do you know another way to do it, because if the URL no more exists or is shut down, we will have problems. i'm looking for a durable solutions.

Thx,
Gervais

You can write a program that will send a request to a URL and extract some information from the HTML page that is returned.

if the URL no more exists or is shut down, we will have problems.

What would you do if that happened to a telephone number you have used in the past?
How would you get a new, valid telephone number?

OK i got it!
we will then extract the data from the html page.

Thx.
