Subject: [olug] programmatically getting a phone number for a business?

I already know the name, address, city, state and zip of a business. If I
search on google maps (for example) with all of that information, I'm
returned a map on the right and data on the left. Part of that data is the
phone number.

I'm looking for an API that will allow me to send all of that data, and
return to me a phone number. Neither the Google Maps API nor the Google
Places API seem to support this. Has anyone done this? Seems like it's
public information, so it should be in a data warehouse somewhere I can
access. Thanks
