ge0

Offline reverse geolocation HTTP API.

Quickstart

The index is built on the cities1000.zip (all cities with a population > 1000) dump from GeoNames.

You can download it [here](all cities with a population > 1000). Once you have unzipped the file, run:

$ ge0 -build-reversegeo-index -path-cities1000txt=/path/to/cities1000.txt /data/dir

Once the index is built, you can just run:

$ ge0 /data/dir

Parameters: lat, lng and precision (optional, in meters, default is 5km).

$ curl http://localhost:8010/api/reversegeo?lat=1.0&lng=1.0
