Getting Cities & Suburbs For a metropolitan area
1. First, find the metropolitan city from the list of cities with populations greater than some number defining a metropolis for your case (500,000 in the example below):
curl --get --include 'https://wft-geo-db.p.mashape.com/v1/geo/cities?minPopulation=500000offset=0&limit=10' \
-H 'X-Mashape-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'X-Mashape-Host: wft-geo-db.p.mashape.com'
2. Now find all cities within some regional radius of some city from the previous results:
curl --get --include 'https://wft-geo-db.p.mashape.com/v1/geo/cities/{cityId}/nearbyCities?radius={radius}&distanceUnit={distanceUnit}&minPopulation={minPopulation}&sort={sort}=offset=0&limit=500' \
-H 'X-Mashape-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'X-Mashape-Host: wft-geo-db.p.mashape.com'
Where:
| minPopulation | Only cities having at least this population |
| radius | The location radius in which to find cities |
| distanceUnit | MI (miles) or KM (kilometers) |
| sort | Optionally, how to sort the results. Format: ±SORT_FIELD,±SORT_FIELD where SORT_FIELD = countryCode | elevation | name | population |
