All calls below are made to http://mapit.nuug.no/ and return JSON (on some calls, stick .html on the end for an HTML version). By default, calls will return active areas; for some calls you may specify a previous generation to look up instead. Whenever an area is returned from MaPit, it is as a dictionary with the following keys: id, name, country, type, parent_area, generation_low, generation_high, codes."
