Details

By sending the region header requests are more cacheable. Add a note to the documentation that you may get faster responses by sending your region with requests. You can retrieve your region by accessing the `/api/v1/fireplace/consumer-info/` API endpoint however since the `fireplace` namespace is unstable maybe we should return region in the `/api/v1/account/settings/mine/` action instead. The region API endpoint will need to be finalised before we start on this.
Since we require the cache=1 parameter this won't actually help 3rd parties other than skipping GeoIP. We will have to remove the need for the cache parameter to provide any benefit.
