  2. Enter a City Name: Type the name of the city you want information about in the provided field.
  3. View Results: Once you submit your query, geodb will display relevant information about the city, including state, country, coordinates, and population.

πŸ“‚ Utilizing the REST API

If you want to delve deeper into geodb’s capabilities, you can use the REST API.

  1. API Endpoint: Access data through the endpoint at /api/cities.
  2. HTTP Requests: Use GET requests to retrieve data. For example, to find information on New York, you would send a request to /api/cities/NewYork.
  3. Response Format: The API returns data in JSON format, which is easy to understand. Here is an example response for New York:
{
  "city": "New York",
  "state": "NY",
  "country": "USA",
  "coordinates": {
    "lat": 40.7128,
    "lng": -74.0060
  },
  "population": 8419600,
  "isCapital": false
}

🌐 Example Queries

Here are some example queries you can run with the API:

  1. Get City by Name: Send a request to /api/cities/{cityName}. Replace {cityName} with the name of the city.

  2. Get All Cities: Use /api/cities to get a list of all cities available in the database.

  3. Search by Country: Query /api/cities/country/{countryName} to retrieve all cities in a specified country.
