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. This is the loose version of our tool, it identifies possible cities and attempts to associate identified cities with possible states.
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" |
