Decoding Inconsistency in API vs Yahoo Sites #21

Closed paradoxxjm closed 12 years ago

paradoxxjm commented 12 years ago

Tried using script to get geolocations for SEPI codes (area codes) in Brazil. Using both Yahoo and Mapbox to grab the locations returns the same geolocation for codes in Brazil. However, if I go to the maps.yahoo.com and search the SEPI codes it returns the correct address.

ID full_address 200 11030-161, Brazil 301 04858-480, Brazil 422 05776-410, Brazil 45 04860-160, Brazil 302 04822-230, Brazil 40 05849-230, Brazil 389 05541-030, Brazil 58 09972-060, Brazil 445 04835-080, Brazil 449 04654-000, Brazil 284 04425-000, Brazil 390 04538-000, Brazil 157 09780-190, Brazil 111 03362-020, Brazil 196 04516-001, Brazil

I imagine there are inconsistencies between the Yahoo! Maps, which are now powered by Nokia, and the Yahoo Maps! API which is not. Unless I misunderstand the issue, there isn't much we can do about the inconsistency in this script since we can't control what the Yahoo! Maps API returns.
