Hi Suchit, AdWords doesn't have a public list of geo name to location decoder. You could check the Google Maps API and see if their Geocoding API <https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro> works for you.
About updating the csv: I think next week or the one after that might be more realistic, since the US offices are closed till the 4th of Jan for new year. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.
