+MrARC Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (title) Looking for a list of US cities and their associated "number". I know it exists, it's being used for a mystery I am trying to solve. Apologies in advance for putting this diabolical mystery idea in some of your heads.. LOL Quote Link to comment
+Hügh Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) The only thing that I can think of is the ID numbering system used by the Advanced Search system, but that's quite technical. I'm not certain if a list exists, but you can go from city name to ID by adapting the following URL appropriately: https://www.geocaching.com/api/proxy/web/search/v2/typeahead?query=phoenix Edited October 8 by Hügh Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 This might help: https://www3.epa.gov/ttnairs1/airsaqsORIG/manuals/city_names.pdf Quote Link to comment

Thanks so much for your answer though... I will play with this! Quote Link to comment

THANKS!! Quote Link to comment
