I'm looking for information about how to send multiple urls in a single request. We understand that the number of urls in the request will still individually count against our account, we're really just looking for a time/effort savings. Based on conversations with sales we were told that this is possible. Thank you. |

I noticed that some of the categories have names that start with an asterisk ("*"). Can you explain the significance of this? |

: Questions about sample code / What to enter in endpoint field for webclient sample Hi, What am I supposed to enter in the endpoint field when I run the webclient.php sample? I tried: 1. http://www.cnn.com, which returns a blank page 2. www.cnn.com which returns a warning Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: nodename nor servname provided, or not known in ... 3. http://thor.brightcloud.com/rest/cnn.com which returns |

: Help with the API / Categories - what changes and what doesn't? Overall very few changes are made to categories. While we sometimes add and remove categories, it is kept to a minimum. If you are concerned about maintaining the correct category number, you can use the GetCatList function to verify that the current names and numbers match what you are expecting. Our articles provide all the available information for BCWS. We do not have additional specs. Articles such as the REST JAVA API at http://bcws.brightcloud.com/articles/10 may be helpful to you. |

: Help with the API / Categories - what changes and what doesn't? Can I count on category numbers and descriptions remaining constant, or will you change them over time? I want to flag only the URLs for sites in a particular category (let's say "Malware Sites") ... can I count on this being category 56 forever? Also, I saw a link for API documentation ( http://bcws.brightcloud.com/articles ), but couldn't find a real spec, only an overview. Is there a full spec somewhere? |

Hello! Welcome to our new launch of the BrightCloud Web Services (BCWS). It's an exciting moment for us, but first let me tell you a little about who we are and how we built this database of information we're making available to you. Here at BrightCloud we've been working very hard since the beginning of 2006 to develop the most accurate, most comprehensive, and most reliable database of URLs and IP addresses. For the first few years we were very focused on building the quality of our database and powering web filtering solutions of top industry players. Please visit our corporate website at http://www.brightcloud.com if you want more details on that. After having a lot of great success in the OEM web filtering market, we decided to turn our sights to the more numerous market of "everyone else." This is why we created BCWS. We made a few changes to our API to support "everyone else" and we hope to make it easier and easier over time so that we can help add value to even more of the internet's applications! We've already got some sample code up on the website, and we're working to create a few sample applications to help jog your imagination a bit as well. Those will be up shortly and announced here when they're available. By effectively classifying the web into various "useful" categories, we hope we can make your existing applications easier to use or more useful to your end-users. Feel free to ask questions here and we'll get to them as quickly as we can. Please also drop us a line and introduce yourself - we'd love to see/hear what you're using our API for and how we can help you make it even better! Best, Chris |

URL encoding is a tricky business in most languages, so I wanted to be proactive to help people figure out how best to deal with these issues. There is a decent discussion on the PHP site here: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.rawurlencode.php. Mark Worrell offers a detailed discussion here about other languages and how their URL encoding works: http://www.marcworrell.com/article-2943-en.html. In short, be sure to follow RFC3986 to have the best chances of success. Chris |
