Hi Dylan, 1) There may be geographies without objects sneaking through. I will look at the data soon and address that if it's happening.

2)The geographies we're using for the API are not the same as those on art.thewalters.org...so your geography id's from the site won't correspond to API values. That's because we're using the type of geographies that have latitude and longitude (which are not present on the site).

Here are some examples..I didnt include lat and long here because they are long numbers but they are part of the data set.

ObjectID 21652 --> Geo ID 1423664
