Twitter WOEID

1.0.3 Update - This package might not be useful - Instead use trends/available endpoint directly.

Twitter uses Yahoo! WOEID for all of their Trends related API endpoints. But that Yahoo! service has been shutdown.

This NPM module offers methods to get WOEID of all locations that Twitter has trending topic information for.
