Resolve a place name or coordinates to a postcode
Resolves a place name, neighbourhood, postcode district (e.g. SW11), landmark, or lat/lng coordinates to a ward centroid postcode. Returns ward name, ward code, and H3 cell IDs representing the area footprint.
Use this before calling data endpoints when you have a place name rather than a full postcode.
