Hi Awesome API folks!

We have a client who has the loc_physical_ms value from the value track parameters. They would like to use this id to find more location information.

For example, they have a value of 1013962 which is the city of Los Angeles. They would like to also know the county, zip code, dma, region, etc.

Is there a way to use this id to look up that information?

Thanks!

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for reaching out.

There are no services in the API that can retrieve other location information besides the LocationCriterionService. You can refer to this guide for more details. However, this service can only retrieve the fields listed here. You could contact the Nielsen Company for the DMA data. Other location information aside from the ones mentioned here are not supported in the API.
