World Cities Geolocation Data

Geolocation data for all of the cities in the world as json/csv. See Examples.

You can generate your own custom list with extra data with the python script.

NPM install coming soon.

Custom Lists

To generate your own list, run python get_world_cities.py and follow the CLI prompts.

Available data:

• ISO-3166 2-letter country code
• Full country name
• State
• County
• City/place name
• Alternative names
• Latitude
• Longitude
• Timezone
• Population
• Altitude

You can choose whether you want to include cities/places with greater than '1000', '5000', or '15000' in population.

A free Geocoding API key is now required to fetch 'state' and 'county' data.
