Special:Nearby is a feature of the MobileFrontend extension. You should file an "enhancement" bug in bugzilla against that extension asking for API access to the data. If you already have an account on Wikimedia's bugzilla and are signed in, this link will take you to the right place to file the request: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=MobileFrontend&bug_severity=enhancement _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
