divisions object Political geographic divisions that contain the requested address.
divisions.(key) nested object The unique Open Civic Data identifier (OCD ID) for the division.
divisions.(key).alsoKnownAs[] list

Any other valid OCD IDs that refer to the same division.

As OCD IDs are human-readable and predictable, there are occasionally several identifiers for a single division. These identifiers are defined to be equivalent to one another, and one is always indicated as the primary identifier. The primary identifier is returned in OCD ID, and any other equivalent valid identifiers are returned in the list.

For example, if the following division's OCD ID is ocd-division/country:us/district:dc, then the list contains ocd-division/country:us/state:dc.
divisions.(key).name string The name of the division.
