caching strategy for /api/locationsearch #8

Closed jeremybenaim closed 11 years ago

jeremybenaim commented 11 years ago

we need a caching strategy for this endpoint – or get rid of them if the Bing Maps API can directly return the coordinates (à la geocoder API from GMaps)

because less XHR -> moar awesomeness

mohamedmansour commented 11 years ago

The Bing Maps API does return the geocoded results, but the issue here isn't the Maps SDK it is the Flickr SDK cause it only accepts lat/longs. We should cache the coordinates on the server and it will be indeed faster.
