Hi Yuri, Thanks for the response :) I checked out the GeoData extension and specifically looked at the API list=geosearch. The data given by geosearch seems to be just the title of the page where the lat/lon is given. I want to find the CIty and country given a latitude, longitude. I can't seem to be able to find any API method to get the country and city of a given latitude, longitude in Extension:GeoData. Am I understanding this wrong ? Have I misread/understood something ?
