Hi Abdeali. We have a geodata search that you might find useful - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData - it should allow you to find at least some of the information via mediawiki api. Ideally, i hope we will be able to integrate geospatial search into wikidata query service, as that should provide more interesting results.
