## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to convert a human-readable US place name, city, county, or region into geographic coordinates before querying Storm Station 247's weather or alert endpoints. It is specifically tuned for US geography and integrates naturally with the rest of the Storm Station 247 weather data platform.

## Known failure modes

- Query string 'q' missing — returns error requiring the parameter
- No matching places found for the query — returns empty results list
- Ambiguous query with many low-confidence matches — returns multiple results requiring disambiguation
- Non-US locations may return no results or incomplete data given the US-focused service

## How this service works

Live weather and breaking weather alerts across the United States, 24/7: every warning, watch and advisory in full, and 73,193 weather instruments ranked.

## Output

A ranked list of places matching the query, each with its kind (city, county, state, etc.), a full human-readable label, geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude), and bounding box extents. Results are ordered best match first.
