If CRS is something other than wgs84, then need to convert it to wgs84.

Output - should it be just cell id? or other properties that might be available.

For now, return cell id. work on a different API endpoint for other info.

Add a crs parameter. Propose converting input convert to wgs84 (also known as epsg:4326) using a python package called pyproj - see https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/78838/converting-projected-coordinates-to-lat-lon-using-python to interface with the DGGS engine (currently expects wgs84 coordinates).
