# phl-poll-finder

*NOTE:* The Philadelphia PollingPlaces API is no longer active, hence rendering this module somewhat useless, at least for the time being. I'll research other options.

A Node.js module for finding the polling center for a Philadelphia address.

phl-poll-finder is based on [Mark Headd](http://twitter.com/mheadd)'s [phlfindpolls gist](https://gist.github.com/4015200).

The module uses Philadelphia's [311 Mobile Data Service API](http://services.phila.gov/ULRS311).

## Getting Started

Install phl-poll-finder:

    npm install phl-poll-finder

Require and instantiate phl-poll-finder:

  

    var phlPollFinder = require('phl-poll-finder')();

## Example Usage

Get latitude and longitude coordinates for a Philadelpia address:

    phlPollFinder.find('1500 market street', function (d) {

      console.log(d);

      /* Example response:

        [{

          attributes: {

            WARD_1: 8,

            DIVISION_1: 15,

            POLLING_PL: 'THE PHOENIX APTS',

            ADDRESS: '1600 ARCH STREET',

            PARKING_AC: 'L',

            BUILDING_A: 'M'

          }

        }]

      */

    });
