get_woeid

Fetch woeid for a place using (geolocation by latitude-longitude, zip, city/location name)

Yahoo has given a unique id for all the places present in their Database

this method will help to fetch the woeid related data via API

Need search parameter eg. { lat => '<latitude>', long => 'longitude' }

Mandatory param hashref lat => '<latitude>' and long => '<longitude>'

Optional Param only {'only' => 1 } will return only best matching result as per the Yahoo api

get_woeid_alternate

Fetch woeid for a place using alternate method (zip,city/location name) Stricty JSON return type data

get_woeid_alternate uses unexposed Yahoo's api so no API call caping
