Did someone say there's a gap I can fill? What did this service look and act like?
The interface was a simple path-based request: http://digits.cloudvox.com/212/555.json It returned, in JSON style, a bunch of data, which included the NANPA ratecenter as well as latitude and longitude. Here's the cached help page: http://web.archive.org/web/20110722123756/http://help.cloudvox.com/kb/digits... I'd use localcallingguide.com, but I have a few problems with it: 1. It's XML, no other formats available. I hate XML and it's a pain to parse without tons of annoying libraries. JSON would be nice. 2. The NPA/NXX lookup doesn't give any city information, or Lat/Lng so I can do a query to google to find the city that most closely matches. 3. I thought that NANPA ratecenters were 10 characters only, but sometimes I get back strange ratecenter names for Canada that don't comply. I only used the REST interface; the DNS interface was interesting but didn't use it.
