Can postal code or city/state data be gleaned from a location ID?

[Joshua Brown]

I've been asked to help out on a friend's project. The client is running a 
nationwide campaign, and when a user clicks on an ad they will be sent to a 
landing page with a URL like this: 
https://URL/landing/?loc_physical_ms=1023631. 
The client wants me to take the location ID (in this case, 1023631), 
convert it to a geographical location, compare it to a provided JSON list 
of offices, and put the ID of the office closest to the location ID on the 
page.

I am new to AdWords, so I'm not sure if this can be done. I know from the 
LocationCriteria CSV file that 1023631 is Cleveland, but I don't see any 
ZIP or separate City or State information there that I could use. CSV is 
probably off the table anyway, as I don't have database access and 
converting it to JSON would yield an enormous file. If I use the API, can I 
get postal code or city/state information using the location ID?

Can ZIP or City & State data be gleaned from the Location ID?

[Joshua Brown]

I've been asked to help out on a friend's project. The client is running a 
nationwide AdWords campaign, and they are using geotargeting. When the user 
clicks on the ad, they end up on a page with a URL like "
https://URL/new-landing-v4-nf/?loc_physical_ms=1023631 
".
 
The client wants me to take the location ID, convert it to a geographic 
location, compare it against a list of offices in a provided JSON feed, and 
put the ID of the office closest to the AdWords location ID on the landing 
page.

I am pretty new to AdWords. I know from the Location Criteria CSV that 
1023631 is the code for Cleveland, but I don't see a lot of other data 
there that I can grab, and anyway storing or converting that CSV file is 
off the table. I don't have database access and a JSON file would be 
enormous. If I figure out how to use the API, can I get city or even ZIP 
information using the location ID? I don't see a lot of examples on how to 
do this.
