Getting car information from a website using the registration - help!

[#1]

Hi,

I have used a script to get lat and long information based on a postcode before now which remains really useful.  I've now got a new question ... some websites you are able to go to and get basic make and model information by entering the car registration.  Any ideas if this can be automated?  We want to check that people are entering the correct engine size when making mileage claims! 🙂

Many thanks,

Emma

Emma,

I am not sure if I understand you completly. But if the requirement is extract the data from a parameter based URL, then yes it is possible.

Typically URL will have the parmeters like http://abaasdfas.com/ParamA?=<your parameter>. Using for loop in the script along with webfiles based load statement to achieve this.

Hi Kiran,

Yeah - probably didn't express it very well (was running into a meeting!).

The parameter based URL is essentially they type of thing I'm after, but I don't know which website to use an was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

Thanks,

Emma
