XML Database service featuring all common Vehicle Makes and Models cars/vans/suvs etc.
Hi all
I just setup a new service on my server
A vehicle database connector that allows you to get XML lists of the most common vehicle makes and models
What’s the use of that? Check the example:
http://cars.flashmx.us/
as you can see you can check in Google images any vehicle - just select region, make, model and year and hit the google button that appears – the iFrame will load the google page with the search result for the your make/model/model/year string
… this is just an example
you can download its source here:
http://cars.flashmx.us/Cars.zip
See a working example also on my blog page (http://blog.flashmx.us/database-service-featuring-all-common-vehicl-makes-and-models-carsvanssuvspickups-etc-perfect-for-flash-based-forms)
the XML feeds links are listed bellow:
URLs list:
Get World Regions List: http://cars.flashmx.us/regions
Get Makes List: http://cars.flashmx.us/makes
Get Makes List by Region*: http://cars.flashmx.us/byregion.#RegionID# (http://cars.flashmx.us/byregion.0)
Get Models**: http://cars.flashmx.us/models.#MakeID# (http://cars.flashmx.us/models.1)
*NOTE: (#RegionID# is the int value of the Region ID as assigned by the Regions list)
For example "http://cars.flashmx.us/byregion.1" will return all avaliable Makes for Region: "US"
If RegionID=0 the the server will return the full list of makes (same as http://cars.flashmx.us/makes)
**NOTE: (#MakeID# is the int value of the make ID as assigned by the Makes list)
For example "http://cars.flashmx.us/models.10" will return all avaliable models for Make: "Austin"
Make sure you open the example FLA to get an idea how to read the XML feeds
I’ll be happy to hear from you ideas/suggestions
Thanks for checking it out!
