I've been toying around with the idea of starting some kind of 'Open

You are doing a CNAM lookup on that 202 number. Change the URL to a
number you know, and it will do a CNAM lookup on it. You can take your

I tried it, but it returns the same kind of junk that some of the databases
do. For example, on a Florida number, it just says FLORIDA instead
Works well - however, I see you included the API access.
Are there more parameters that we can pass to get more information?
