- I was digging around in the Android app source (don't ask) and found the URL for the My Verizon interface. https://mobile.vzw.com/hybridClient/index.html looks a lot like the interface that was seen in the previous version of the app (the buttons are a bit uglier (just text on a bar)). If you open that on your phone, you will need to turn it to landscape mode for it to render properly.
That URL should get some of us by with My Verizon until Big Red decides to give us a proper app, or someone finishes reverse engineering the Android app.05-26-2012 06:20 PMLike 0 -
- When Verizon "updated" the app, the WebView control they were using switched the page to a WAP page that is almost useless. So, I decided to see if I could do something a bit better. There's an article here on WPCentral about it, and the reviews for the app reflect the user dissatisfaction with the "update".05-29-2012 12:37 PMLike 0
- I'm currently working on finding a decent JavaScript scraping library so I can extract the needed data from the site. I'll then try to make a better version and either sell it to Verizon or pay the $99 AppHub fee and submit it myself. Dunno if I'll ever finish it, though (esp. if I can't find a c# JavaScript scraper).05-29-2012 02:53 PMLike 0

Html Agility Pack
It's a really nice free open source C# library that I've used for scraping web pages. I've never used it for a WP project though. It looks like they don't have a WP binary but they have a WP project in the source so you can build it yourself.- Share

- Not sure what you mean by a "Javascript scraping library," but you might be interested in the Html Agility Pack:

I'll take a look at HTML Agility when I get to the house. Now to decide whether to sell my work to VZW or pay for an AppHub subscription...Last edited by l_n; 05-29-2012 at 04:10 PM. Reason: added more words and stuff.

In that case you might be interested in JSON.NET:

I would tread lightly when it comes to Verizon though. If they find out what you're doing they may try to shut your project down.- Share

Fiddler Web Debugger - A free web debugging tool
It looks like the page is making a few different POSTs to get data. Look like the responses come back in JSON format and get put on the page by Javascript. You'll have to dig into it and figure out how it works, this is just what I saw from a minute of looking at it.
My guess is you won't find what you need in the actual javascript files. Those are probably just libraries that are minified to reduce the file size, hence the unreadable code.05-29-2012 08:12 PMLike 0
