Using The Forms

The form pages are created to help users to visualize the data that’s returned per query. The map with overlays is created using the OpenLayer API.

Lexical Search

We highly recommend user to start from this page. From this page, user will be able to search for cities based on their names. As documented on our RESTful API page (Lexical Search section), user can also use * character as a wildcard.

Note

If multiple words are provided, only cities whose names include those words in the same order that’s given will be returned.

Proximity Search

Proximity search enables the user to find the k closest cities given a city ID. The city ID can be retrieved from performing the search by name.

Note

User can also change the search by selecting a specific country from the drop down menu. This will return closest cities from that country.
