USING THE WHITEPAGES API TO FIND SENIORS
I was doing some telemarketing work lately where I had to call Seniors on the phone every day. I thought it would be interesting to use the WhitePages API to create my own leads. The WhitePages API lets you perform reverse phone look ups, so I wrote a program that generated phone numbers and called the WhitePages API. if the phone number was valid it would create an XML file with info for the phone number; name, address, etc. Unfortunately it didn't yield an age; I just wanted people who were 65+. Fortunately the XML contained the url of a page that supplies age info. Unfortunately I got an HTTP 403 error (access denied) when trying to scan the page with age on it.
It occurred to me that I could still load these web addresses into a browser and search the browser history for a "65+" string. I did all of this on a PC that was running Windows XP, but Windows XP doesn't let you search browser history. Fortunately Microsoft now has an upgrade for Windows XP that does just that; let's you search browser history (or just about anything else on your PC) - the Desktop Search. So I went to www.microsoft.com, upgraded my PC and was in business. I wrote some Java routines that did all the work I wanted when following this algorithm I worked out:
(1) Get NPA database from http://www.nanpa.com/area_codes/index.html
It's in MS Access format.
(2) Create npa text file, NPAList.txt, by running query NPAList (database is AllNPAs).
(3) Run WhitePagesAPI (java WhitePagesAPI); produces XML files with file names equal to the phone number they describe.
(4) dir/b NPA* > phoneList.txt create list of valid phone numbers (i.e., the files we have to open up)
(4) Run GetURLStrings (java GetURLStrings); produces urlList (list of url strings so we can can open up the web pages that contain "age" strings)
(5) Run CreateHistory (java CreateHistoryXP); create history files of web pages that contain "age" strings. This program makes a lot of calls on Windows (including IE, kill.exe and tlist.exe utilities).
(6) SearchIE history files files for the string "65+" to get phone numbers for seniors. This requires that Windows Desktop Search and IEHistory add in has been added to the system (for Windows XP; Vista already has this capability).
(7) copy XML files with phone numbers from step 6 to the Seniors folders.
In one of my posting I wrote about how much I liked Netbeans 6, which wasn't even in beta at the time I wrote the posting. To show that Netbeans 6 (I wound up using Netbeans 6.1) could create a nice Swing version of my code, I took all my straight line code and stuck it into the Swing components that Netbeans created. It seems to work. That says loads for Netbeans, because you usually run into serious problems if you code this way. When writing with an IDE like Netbeans you'll have less headaches if you start writing with Netbeans instead of using it as an afterthought. If you write your code using OOD you can probably stick it into an IDE without any trouble, but I wrote this stuff like it was a series of routines written in C. That's why I say that this code working a well as it does says loads for Netbeans. Here's the code from Netbeans. You can create a new project in Netbeans and stick this code into it.
