Free Dunkin Donuts Database and Developer Resources

Every webmaster or blogger understands the benefit of being on top of what is hot at the moment to capitalize on getting some indexable content out there for the search terms that are trending. With the recent IPO of Dunkin Brands which began trading Wednesday under the symbol "DNKN" there is sure to be some search volume for Dunkin Donuts related content. With that in mind we put together a free database of Dunkin Donut's locations to see what our savvy users can come up with. Grab a copy of the free list, use some of the graphic resources we have gathered for you and show us what you can do!

Database Information

The free download contains geocoded location information and contact data for almost 5 thousand Dunkin locations and comes in CSV, MySQL Dump, Microsoft Access, MS Excel Spreadsheet and XML formats.

Look for the Download to Spreadsheet link at the bottom which will export your data selection to CSV. Writing a PHP script to grab this data can be done in just a few lines of code:

Using file_get_contents()

$dunkin_file = file_get_contents("http://www.location_of_csv.com/link.csv");
file_put_contents("writable_file.csv", $dunkin_file);

Using CURL

$ch = curl_init("http://www.location_of_csv.com/link.csv");
$fh = fopen("writable_file.csv", "w");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fh);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
