Can anyone get the machine readable pages of the vertcoin block explorer to work?

I can't

sample non machine readable

http://explorer.vertcoin.org/address/VpkQn9PuNi7mLpuQy7Qmcf4CyfQyMBmP1n

gives

"
Short Link: http://explorer.vertcoin.org/a/VpkQn9PuNi

Balance: 7.49186164 VTC
Transactions in: 9
Received: 7.49186164 VTC
Transactions out: 0
Sent: 0 VTC

"

but machine readable

http://explorer.vertcoin.org/q/addressbalance/VpkQn9PuNi7mLpuQy7Qmcf4CyfQyMBmP1n

gives

"
returns amount of money at the given address
/chain/CHAIN/q/addressbalance/ADDRESS

"

which is a description of what it should do but doesn't do.

for bitcoin the machine readable can be loaded into a php variable like this

$bitcoinaddressbalance = file_get_contents('http://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/16M9iBxfJsLjR8hHY7zs1qnikS51mCTu5o');

so for vertcoin it should also be like

$vertcoinaddressbalance = file_get_contents('http://explorer.vertcoin.org/q/addressbalance/VpkQn9PuNi7mLpuQy7Qmcf4CyfQyMBmP1n');

but it doesn't work becuase the machine readable part of the vertcoin explorer doesn't work.

Can anyone get a machinereadable vertcoin explorer address value?
