GeoDB Cities API

Welcome to GeoDB

GeoDB is an online places database. It exposes city, county, island, region, and country data via both GraphQL and REST APIs. Let us handle this grunt work while you spend time implementing what matters.

Features

• Filter places by name prefix, countries, location, time-zone, and minimum population (currently over 700,000 towns, cities, counties, and islands)
• Find places near a place or location
• Display results in multiple languages (currently English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish)
• Sort results by name, country code, elevation, and population - or any combination of these
• Get place 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 places in a given region
• Get all countries supporting a currency
• WikiData Integration
• GraphQL and REST API adhere to industry best-practices
• Cloud-based load-balanced infrastructure
