After integrating with Twilio for FixMyCityDC, I was looking for another opportunity to use their great API.
So, combined with data from NPR’s Station Finder API, and loading it on Google App Engine, I was able to create a phone number to allow people to call from wherever they may be at the time, type in their zip code, and get the frequencies of all the local NPR stations.
Dial (866) 456-5701
I’ll leave the phone number up for about a month. It costs me 5 cents every time someone makes a call, so I won’t be leaving it up forever!
And of course, like a good netizen, it’s open source over at github. My python is a bit rusty, but it works!
