When you use the GetURL function to get the contents of a web page, it's
always easiest to use URLs that return small web pages. The less information
there is on the page, the easier it is to parse it and get just the info you
need out of it.
These are some URLs that you can use to get various types of info. They all
return relatively simple web pages. Note that the blue
portion of each URL is variable. You'll need to set that according to your needs.

Just remember that web sites change all the time. I don't know know long the above web site addresses will work. If you happen to know of others,
please let me know.
