Yes, others already told me that. I am not sure why you have to shout.

But in any case, I asked how it was done and the reply was that there was no
such APIs, (or at least the ones that do exists don't do the job we are lead
to believe).

Now are you not jumping the gun a bit? I asked how they did it, I never said
I was going to 'commit fraud', I don't get why you are trying to throw
accusations, it will not make your opinion any more valid/invalid.
But your suggestions might work, just not in my case. I am sorry, but that's
the case.

As I said, thanks for your opinion, but some projects are a little bit
bigger than some quick fix solution in any NG might give.
I was simply looking at one avenue and asking more details about it, not how
you would solve what you think my problem is.
