Thai Election ID Checking

03.19.2006

| 5615 views |

        The online service <a href=http://www.dopa.go.th/online/inqelect.htm>here</a> aims to help people
check where they are to vote. However, it can be
used as ID certification as well.

# nnnn is the id to be checked
http://www.dopa.go.th/cgi-bin/inqelect.sh?pid=nnnn

Here I make it into a function call.

import urllib, re
def getname(id):
  url = 'http://www.dopa.go.th/cgi-bin/inqelect.sh?pid=' + str(id)
  src = urllib.urlopen(url).read()
  pat = '<H3> *(.*?) *<'
  name = re.findall(pat, src)[0]  # don't use other info
  return name

print getname(5100900050063)  # show a name (one of my relatives)
