We've noticed a lot of new APIs and web services popping up from every direction, not wanting to be left out of the pack we decided to release an API version of our popular "geographically aware" feed tool.
So what's this thing do anyways? Well it takes any submitted block of text and attempts to identify US geographical references ie cities and state sets. We consider this version of our API to be strict ie it looks for state and city sets. We are now offering a loose version of this API as well.
If you use this free API we require you provide proper attribution to comply with our terms of service. (Is it so much to ask?)

Because the content value can be long this API supports the POST method in addition to the GET method. Please choose accordingly based upon your expected content size.
| Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| content | string (required) | The content block you want to make "geographically aware" |
