XML-RPC Web Service

There is an XML-RPC web service located at the following URL:

http://www.upcdatabase.com/rpc

Try the function 'help' for starters. Direct questions to the upcdb-dev mailing list. The API is VERY likely to change in the short term, so be warned. Note: This is NOT for your web browser. Don't expect to get any useful results from directing your web browser at this URL...

More detail on how XML-RPC works is available at The XML-RPC Home Page.

This service, and the data provided by it, is licensed for PERSONAL USE ONLY, and may not be used for commercial purposes, NOR REDISTRIBUTED IN ANY FORM without prior written consent. For questions regarding commercial licensing, please contact me at webmaster@upcdatabase.com. I can't guarantee an answer, or even a response, but I do my best...

Here's a quick and dirty example of how to call this service in perl. Non-perl programmers would benefit from the debug output this generates.

Here are some additional coding examples, submitted by users on the upcdb-dev mailing list. I can't answer questions about these, but someone on the mailing list likely can.
