API Giving Incorrect Results #46

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
In testing another gadget we're working on, I stumbled upon this issue. A 
location in MN, returns a MD polling place:

Query:
http://pollinglocation.apis.google.com/?q=11235%20Oak%20Leaf%20Dr%20#1115,%20Min
neapolis,%20MN%2055426,%20USA

Response:
{"status":"SUCCESS","locations":[[{"dataset_id":648,"election_id":2,"id":
        "648:7160000555170","address":{"location_name":
          "CRESTHAVEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL","line1":"1234 CRESTHAVEN DRIVE",
          "city":"SILVER SPRING","state":"MD","zip":"20903"},"directions":
        "","polling_hours":"7:00am-8:00pm"}]],"contests":[[]]}

Hmm...I might have been premature about this. It looks like the hash I didn't 
notice. I'm sure that's probably preventing the rest of the URL from being 
checked.

I'll let you verify on your end and close.

Yes, the hash character is terminating the url, so it is geocoding 11235 oak 
leaf dr, which ends up in maryland.

Changing this to Won't-Fix since the gadget - API interaction appears to work 
correctly and does not send the user to MD.

Other API users might run into a problem here though...perhaps something to add 
to the documentation on 11/3.
