location info... we want to query it

[John Brennan]

Want to display SEs on a map.. an action map actually (http://
myactionmap.org)...

need to be able to query by lat/lng. i give it a lat/lng and a radius
in mi/km... or a country... and it returns results.

can i query by region yet? if so its not documented...


thanks!

Hi John,

You're right. We need to update the SEAPI documentation. Thanks for the
nudge.

While we aren't able to provide lat/long (as far as I know), we can
provide 'regional area' and 'city / country' for the individual social
entrepreneurs. I believe there are services that permit you to retrieve
the lat/long from these kinds of location strings.

All the best,
Peter
