I am trying to make an ubiquity calculator, and I think integrating
it with Google Calculator would be pretty cool.
Downloading the entire page and just grabbing a few bytes of
information seems very wasteful though.
What I am really looking for is a simple way to send and receive a
calculator query without wasting bandwidth. Something like:
http://www.google.com/apis/whatever/superduper/calculator.py?q=1+1
returns
2
I could write this myself, but I would still be downloading entire
pages a bunch, even with caching for common queries. The best way
would be for Google to do it themselves.
Is there anything like this?
