Location data from any content source
SULSa (Swift User Location Services App) was created to allow programmers and developers to easily add the location info of users to their POST requests to Ushahdi. The location information is updated monthly from http://www.hostip.info to a server managed by Ushahidi to ensure it never goes offline permanently. Returns JSON, standard XML as well as PFIF, GeoRSS, and EDXL.
SULSa was created to add geo-location data to any content. It's RESTful API allows users to ping it with an IP Address and it returns the City, Country, and Latitude/Longitude coordinates. This allows SULSa to add rich location data to any content, even if the application creating it doesn't.
