GeoDB Cities API

Besides English, you can now display cities, regions, and countries in one of the following languages:

• French
• German
• Italian
• Russian
• Spanish

For details, please go to the API Reference sections which have been updated to describe the new languageCode param.

The translations are based on WikiData and dependent on the completeness of the data there. (If you see something missing or wrong, please correct it in WikiData. The PRO instance will receive the correction during its daily refresh cycle.)

Let us know what you think!

Other Enhancements

• WikiData Integration (more on this later)
• For languages based on Latin characters, you can now display results back without accent marks. See the new asciiMode param described in the API docs.
• Getting a country's details now also returns its flag image link.

Bug Fixes

• The namePrefix filter now ignores diacritical marks for languages using Latin characters.
• The mapping of cities to regions has been corrected.
