I wish there was an API where I could input as much info as I had array("firstName"=>"John","lastName"=>"Doe","zip"=>"12345") for example and it returns info on as many matches that go with the input and includes occupation, birth date, relatives, etc. That would be awesome...

FullContact does something similiar. http://developer.fullcontact.com/
No occupation or it would be pretty good, but that's mainly what I want. Does LinkedIn have an API that this would work with?
just code it yourself, as far as im concerned the website IS the api :)
which site to scrape for occupation - linkedin I guess would work to get decent matches.
