What protocol and what output format should I choose for White pages API key?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I apply for the API key, it comes up with the following questions.

What is your preferred protocol?

What is your preferred output format?

What answers should I choose?

I hope Mike will comment on this, but reading forum.sipsorcery.com, I found 
this post from Mike http://forum.sipsorcery.com/viewtopic.php?p=12023#p12023

He mentions using YQL to convert XML into JSON so I'm led to believe that you 
want XML output. Therefore, my guess is that the first entry should be XML-RPC 
and the second XML. That should present XML to Mike's Whitepages lookup code.

The protocol is REST and output format is XML.

I left those entries at the default values (might have been blank), and nothing 
bad ever happenned. I think the protocol and format are specified in the 
request string sent to Yahoo.

Indeed, the protocol and format are specified in the request and you can use 
any supported protocol and format, regardless of what you entered in those 
fields. Probably their marketing guys wanted to know which protocols and 
formats are most popular and added these questions (instead of checking their 
server's statistics) ;-)
