Getting a city's GPS location, population, and elevation is all well and good, but what about when you're building:
- A history app that shows a timeline of significant events?
- A travel app that needs to show famous landmarks and tourist attractions?
- Just a fun app that shows all the famous people born in a given city?
All of this and more is possible by integrating with WikiData, the machine-consumable version of Wikipedia.
GeoDB now offers WikiData integration by tying all countries and regions, as well as most cities, to a unique WikiData entity id.
