Value Suggest match by GeoNames ID's, not title/placename?

I have a dataset that contains GeoNames ID’s rather than place names. Is it possible to use ValueSuggest to match on those ID numbers rather than the place names? When I try to search by an ID in the Value Suggest interface, it doesn’t bring up any matches.

(I suspect the answer is no, and we will use the numbers to grab the placename with a script or something if not, but I wanted to make sure I am not missing something obvious)

No, that’s not possible using the GeoNames endpoint that the module uses. I suppose it would be possible to add a separate suggester that accepts GeoName IDs, but that isn’t something we have currently.

Thank you! Glad to know I wasn’t missing anything (as is common)

Just in case someone finds this later, here’s a quick script to grab metadata using the GeoNames API Get GeoNames metadata from ID's · GitHub
