This is an informal 'heads-up' for all all developers of the Internet Location Platform Developer Preview. Two quick notes: - First, you will need an appID to...
The .type filter does not apply to the /places collection. You cannot filter this collection by placetype. You will need to filter the results on the client...

If I send this request http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/places then I get an error in XML, which is good. However http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/places?format=json...
If you make a call like this: http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/place/28350818?appid=[yourappid] that is supposed to return the the time zone for India. This used...
This one didn't turn up to be a language specific issue after all. When I look at the list of belongtos, there are names in both languages, as there should be,...
... Hi Dave, Thanks for bringing this to our attention; this is a great problem report as it provides not only a description of what you've found but also lots...
After some further digging in it seems that the Local Administrative Area is where the problem is located. That's where the swedish names are coming from if...

Is this group (and the geoplanet stuff in general) dead? The http://www.ygeoblog.com/ blog hasn't been updated in nearly 2 months and I'm not seeing a lot of...
Hi rwwade, GeoPlanet is indeed very much alive -- we're busy on the Yahoo! side creating services that build significantly upon it. In answer to your ...
