GeoDB Cities API

When coding up a new site or the next great mobile app, do you really want to spend time figuring out how to get a list of cities in the user's state?

Come to think of it, do you even want to worry about how to list the states or regions in one of almost 200 countries?

Enter GeoDB

GeoDB is an online cities database. It exposes city, region, and country data via a REST JSON API. Let us handle the grunt work while you spend time implementing what you care about.

Features

• Filter cities by name prefix, countries, location, time-zone, and minimum population (currently over 113,000 cities and towns).
• Find cities near a city or location.
• Display results in multiple languages (currently English, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish).
• Sort results by name, country code, elevation, and population - or any combination of these.
• Get city details, including GPS location, time-zone, population, elevation above sea level, and the current time (factors in daylight savings).
• Get all country regions, states, and provinces.
• Get all cities in a given region.
• Get all countries supporting a currency.
• WikiData Integration
• REST API adheres to industry best-practices, including HATEOAS-style links for paging results.
• Cloud-based load-balanced infrastructure.
• Data periodically refreshed from GeoNames and WikiData.
