Multiple Location Specifiers

From what Iโ€™ve seen, if you provide a town or city name, there is no way to provide state/province or even country information. As somebody who is from Flemington, New Jersey, I really donโ€™t care what the weather is in Flemington, New Zealand. Maybe there is a parameter I didnโ€™t see anywhere that allows for this, but if that exists, the lack of documentation on this API makes it challenging to find. If this exists, Iโ€™d love some help. Thanks.

To pass a location name along with state is easy.

The user may not always be querying for their specific location. They may be trying to find the weather in a different location. I found another api to accurately find the longitude and latitude, based on a location name found within a string of text. Then I plug that lat/long into this api. I still think being able to specify more info about a location would be beneficial, but for my purposes, I found a solution.

You can just extract the lat/long from the user client to get an accurate result, instead of inputting data.
