Hi CJ, We provide AMAS PAF data as a RESTful web service which allows you to integrate type as you go functionality quite quickly. Check out http://www.datasan.com.au/
Regarding the comment about forcing users - yes I agree too. Plus even AMAS data isn't up to date. So we provide advice/best matches as the user types. For an internet facing app this is better approach. For intranet facing app you can perhaps mandate. We provide probably the most fair usage and pricing options if you are interested. Plus we are L2 providers so we get the data directly from Aus Post allowing us complete control over implementation & cost passed on to the customer. cheers, Sai.
