XML of the FIRST Q & A system

Hey all...

Intrested in seeing xml data from the FIRST Q & A system??

Check out http://usfirst.firstsn.org/xml/qa.php

You can use the following queries in your url to access different info.

The queries are:
section=[Section]
date=[Date]
mmddyyyy=[(MM/DD/YYYY)]
search=[Search]
status=[Status]
skip=[offset] **NOTE: MAX 25 DISPLAY**

An example url would be:
http://usfirst.firstsn.org/xml/qa.ph...tatus=answered

Take a look at the actual Q & A page to see what are the possible values you can enter for each of the fields.

Also, just to let anyone know, this script parses the FIRST site directly on every call so you'll be guarenteed fresh data.

If anyone has any questions's or actually finds a good way to use this let me know.

Jack
