Issues with Geocode.us and Documentation

The past few days were unfortunately fraught with errors because of some issues we’ve been seeing coming from geocode.us and it’s service.  Temporarily, we’ve removed them as a data provider until we can figure out how to put them back on without disrupting service again.

Additionally, we’ve had a (very valid) request for (long overdue) documentation.  At the moment, there is no documentation for what should be returning if things go wrong with a request.  In the past, we would always return an address.  However, there are times when this isn’t always the best idea.  So, we’re starting to document our internal error codes and we’re looking for an easy way to reply without breaking your applications as they are already created.

In the future, we may even need to version our API so we can create new services.  In all, please keep the feedback and comments coming.  As you may already know, we do listen and we do take action on your concerns.

Thank you.
