It didn't detect my location correctly. I'm in the Boston area, not the UK: http://github-awards.com/users/search?login=kylecronin http://github-awards.com/users/search?login=kylecronin https://github.com/kylecronin https://github.com/kylecronin

  Also, it looks like the cities w/ the same name in different countries are treated as one city. I am in Santa Fe, NM but ranked with people in Santa Fe, Argentina.

What are you using to parse and resolve location? There doesn't seem to be a suggested format for a github profile and myself, like many other people in the US just put in a State abbreviation or City name which has DC in Van, Turkey.

    >The Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited. For complete details on allowed usage, consult the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/ https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/ I wanted to use this API for a simple app of mine too but in the end didn't because of this. Used Mapquest instead, which seems good too.

I don't think it's updated in realtime, is it?
- pravj 12y ago
  OK, got it. It's missing a significant amount of data because of GitHub-Archive. https://github.com/igrigorik/githubarchive.org/issues/30 https://github.com/igrigorik/githubarchive.org/issues/30

It won't recognize my city from my profile even after I added it (other developers for my city show up, though). Are the results cached? Is there any way to refresh the cache?
