    Location Query

    The primary way to get information from Elected Officials' database of officials and districts is through a location query.

    When you include API call parameters that provide a location in the form of a latitude & longitude coordinate, street address, or postal code, Elected Officials will find that location on the Earth's surface and match it against a range of district boundaries. In this way, you can determine which elected official represents any home, business, or place in regions with Elected Officials coverage.
