Thanks for the reply. This page states nothing about how to actually
add information on a cell id!? Is this feature currently not working?
I would like to know how to update zonetags with new location details
for a given cell id not already stored :(

Dear All... I have been collecting data from zonetag - and getting the
country is great!
However, my hometown is not stored as a city for the cellid. Can you
please tell me how I go about adding a cellID with a city?
Do i just make an xml post?
If so, where do i post it to?

thank you for your time

Hi,
   I am new to zonetag. I have obtained the userkey required to use
zonetag api. However, I am not quite sure if using zonetag api is:
1) tied to flickr api, which i have used before
2) tied to yahoo search api
3) is completely independent of both

I was not able to find this information on the web, nor some
libraries, or maybe i overlooked. Would it be possible for someone
here to throw more light and/or to point me to some examples of using
zonetag api? It would be a great help.
Thanks
Dhiraj

Hi Stan

If you'd like to get a sense of your surround I suggest giving TagMaps
(http://tagmaps.research.yahoo.com/) a try. It uses Flickr geotagged
images to get an idea of what are the noteworthy tags in an area. There
is a full GeoRSS feed that you can play with at
http://developer.yahoo.com/yrb/tagmaps/

Hi Stan,

That's a great idea and thanks for you questions.  I am curious why you
need the exact lat/lon of the cell tower though?  The user is often not
where the cell tower is but in the surrounding areas.

Also, I wanted to let you know that we have something in the works that
would make it much easier for you to update and query for a user's
location... and hopefully would solve your problem.  It's not open yet,
but soon.  Swing on over to the page to sign up for alpha testing:
http://fireeagle.research.yahoo.com

Thanks,
Jeannie

I believe GSMloc (http://gsmloc.org) has an API like that though I am
not sure how updated their data is.

The other option would be to pipe the zonetag output through the yahoo
geocoder to get lat/long

Hi Stan

One of the biggest problems with getting cellid lat/long is that GPS
readings are usually spread over a large area which makes it difficult
to return a single point.

As for "anything we can do, you can do too", we are using the exact same
API and do not have access to lat/long either.

Hi,

I understand, isn't that violating

"Anything we can do, you can do too."

So if I submit/update a cellid lat/lon via cellsubmit to the system, I
won't be able to get it out again?

Hi Stan

The ZoneTag API does not return lat/long for cellid information. However
you can pass the city/state/zipcode information you get from ZoneTag
through the Yahoo Geocoding API
(http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html) to get the
lat/long. Hope that helps

hey

how i retrieve the lat and lon of a given cell id to use it for my own
data, for example finding wikipedia articles close by.

thanks very much,

I am successfully calling the Zonetag API but I only the Country in my
response. I use the following demo example query

http://zonetag.research.yahooapis.com/services/rest/V1/cellLookup.php?apptoken=7cd8517ef5e21e7634318dec50e8c619&cellid=4995&lac=6054&mnc=380&mcc=310

but all I get is

<rsp stat="ok">
&#8722;
<Location>
<Country cell="current" source="user">USA</Country>
</Location>
</rsp>

How do I get the rest: City, State and ZIP?

Does this query API work in Japan

I am successfully calling the Zonetag API but I only the Country in my

hello people,
my name is bruno, I'm from Argentina. I want to develop a mobile App
with J2ME, this application has to return a map ( I want to use yahoo
maps o google maps) from the place the person is in. I want to use the
API, so automatically the application gets the location of the cell
phone and return the correct map.
I have many problem yo start using the API (Cell Location API),
somebody can explain me how to use it?
I couldn't find a example...
I'm using Netbeans 5.5 and my cell phone is a motorola V3 black.
thank you very much.
bye
bruno.

Fixed - there was a problem with the location parser which also caused
the bad error messages.

I have the same problem:

I first tried to submit info about the same cell with
city=Basingstoke
state=Hampshire
country=United Kingdom

but cellLookup was returning:
<rsp stat="ok">
<Location>
<Country cell="current" source="user">USA</Country>
<State cell="current" source="user">England</State>
<City cell="current" source="user">Basingstoke</City>
</Location>
<Location>
<Country cell="current" source="user">United Kingdom</Country>
</Location>
</rsp>

Then I tried again with country & city only:
&cellid=8674135&lac=43082&mnc=10&mcc=234&city=Basingstoke&Country=United+Kingdom

but cellsubmit returns "i" in all fields, and cellLookup does not seem
to return anything different.

Maybe it is somehow related to submitting twice about the same cell?

Whoops, ignore this. I mixed up the mcc and mnc. But I suppose it would be nice
if the err
code was set rather than left blank, possibly setting error code 13 or 14 as
defined in the
docs.

Cheers,

Alastair

Hi,

I've encountered an unknown error while attempting to perform lookup on a cell:

Parameters passed to cell lookup:
mcc=33&results=3&lac=1389&mnc=234&cellid=2352

Response:
<rsp stat="fail"><err code="" /></rsp>

Cheers,

Hi Rahul,

That particular cell id seems to be reporting back more information
than before, but I can't tell whether that information was submitted
by myself, or seemingly from a Yahoo's system (similar to what I get
from FireEagle).

I tried submitting information for a different cellid "1137, 108, 33,
234" with only the City and Country set, but it also does not seem to
register with ZoneTag immediately:

Submitted:

city=London&country=United+Kingdom&mcc=234&lac=108&mnc=33&cellid=1137

Submit Response:
<rsp
stat="ok"><location><latitude>i</latitude><longitude>i</longitude><city>i</city>\
<state>i</state><country>i</country><zipcode>i</zipcode></location></rsp>

That looks a bit weird since latitude and longitude are there in the
response even though I didn't submit it. Also all the values are "i"
rather than the values I had submitted. Maybe my submission isn't
being accepted?

Thanks,

Alastair

Hi Alastair

There was a backend issue which has now been fixed - you should be
getting correct results now. Thanks for the bug report and do let us
know if you encounter any other issues.

Hi,

How does submitted cellid to location information get integrated with the
ZoneTag API?
For instance, I submitted some latlongs along with the cellid-lac-mnc-mcc for my
current
network "Orange UK" using cellsubmit.php, but cellLookup.php will not return
these
latlongs?

Submit Params:
country=United+Kingdom&mcc=234&longitude=-
0.03548&lac=108&latitude=51.509365&mnc=33&cellid=10826

Submit Response:
<rsp stat="ok"><location><latitude>51.509365</latitude><longitude>-
0.03548</longitude></location></rsp>

Lookup Response:
<rsp stat="ok"><Location><Country cell="current" source="user">United
Kingdom</Country></Location></rsp>

Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,

Alastair
