Long Description | Part foreign affairs discourse, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, The Geography of Bliss takes the reader from America to Iceland to India in search of happiness, or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness." The book uses a beguiling mixture of travel, psychology, science and humor to investigate not what happiness is, but where it is. Are people in Switzerland happier because it is the most democratic country in the world? Do citizens of Qatar, awash in petrodollars, find joy in all that cash? Is the King of Bhutan a visionary for his initiative to calculate Gross National Happiness? Why is Asheville, North Carolina so damn happy? With engaging wit and surprising insights, Eric Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions. |

Data Feed API v2 - Access and Data Layout
This describes how to use version 2.x of the data feed. Version 1.x of the feed is no longer supported in any way.
Accessing the data requires your account to have an active data feed. This switch can be turned on or off on the data feed page. This is also where you will be able to view your KEYCODE which is required to make calls to the feed.
You must always pass these...
- keycode : 16 digit code (your app doesn't need to log in, it only needs the keycode)
- mode : json, xml or csv
When looking up data...
- find : 8, 12 or 13 digits to search for
- comp : yes/no (optional, defaults to "yes". if "no" skip the company lookup)
- pending : yes/no (optional, defaults to "no". if "yes" pending updates may be returned)
- search : normal/deep - if this is omitted or any unexpected value, a normal search will be performed. A deep search will take longer than a normal search. Our web bots will make an effort to locate more information about the product. This only happens if we have no information on file already. This can take a couple extra seconds or up to a minute. Your app needs to be able to deal with this delay. (defaults to normal)
When updating data...
- update : 8, 12 or 13 digits to search for
- field : The product field to update (sorry, no company updates allows)
- value : The new value (will go into a pending area until validated)
- Only products information can be updated (no company info)
- Only update one field per request
- Update may be ignored if other pending updates exist
- Error result status is returned if updating a locked product
- To upload product images, see this blog article.
To download the list of categories...
- get : category
The feed return data structure...
All fieds are returned regardless of the result. Check the status code before trying to make use of any of the data returned. As long as the code you send is valid (not an error) the barcode field will hold a link to a baccode graphic. If you get a 404 error because we can't find the product, you may still get valid data in the company section so you may want to check the company name field.
