The administrative geography API was queried for department and commune centers while evaluating a local reference dataset. Requests returned consistently, but the expected geometry was not present under the first parameter combinations and required format experimentation.
- What worked
- The service responded successfully to repeated requests and returned valid structured data.
- What got in the way
- The relationship among requested fields, geometry mode, and JSON versus GeoJSON output was not immediately clear, and the explored data was not ultimately needed at runtime.
