I was rather hoping to avoid parsing json as this is a simple project but I guess I'll have to look into it. If I do that I can just use any of the publicly available APIs from exchanges or preev etc. PS - the price on bitsperdollar is no longer updating or I would use it like it is. Any chance you can PM me an email address for the new owner(s)? I tweeted at them but there was no response and the whois appears to still be under your info.
