Hi,

Has anybody use phishtank.com's api? the documentation si pretty poor in their site and they don't reply to emails.

The api should help me send a url to phishtank so that they verify if it's spam or not (according to their database) and then return an XML response, and I should parse it and everyone is happy.

But I don't know how I should send the URL, in the documentation it says that the checking url is:

http://checkurl.phishtank.com/checkurl/

and if I add the address that I want to test like this:

http://checkurl.phishtank.com/checkurl/www.google.com

I get an XML error:

<response>
−
<meta>
<timestamp>2010-07-12T19:40:11+00:00</timestamp>
<serverid>ebb667fe</serverid>
<requestid>192.168.0.105.4c3b6f9bf163f5.94482496</requestid>
</meta>
−
<results>
<errortext>You have supplied a malformed URL</errortext>
</results>
</response>

Does anybody know how the URL should look like, pls I need to know asap.

thnx in advance :)
