Why instead of downloading the page for each IP in the file don't you download the page only once and then check each IP address?
Well, if they had a big page of IP addresses... I didnt see it. From what I gather its a script that takes the IP as an argument and checks it against the database and returns how many results.
So with this method, not using the API, it needs to request the page for each IP address to get the results for the IP address.
Makes sense?
