GeoDB Cities REST API v1.0.0
GeoDB offers a GraphQL- and REST-based global city and region data consumable platform. API operations include determining the distance between cities, finding nearby cities, and support for city autocomplete as well as retrieval of city details, countries, country details, region details, currencies, locales, and time-zones. Results are displayable in multiple languages. Developers need to request an API Key. The REST API uses hypermedia (HATEOAS) for friendly paging results.

GeoDB has been designed to follow GraphQL and REST best-practices and be easy to pick up. Once you understand how one endpoint works, you'll understand them all. In addition, although it wraps GeoNames.org city data, it does a bit of cleaning to remove data that is not self-consistent or otherwise incomplete to the point of being unusable.
Besides English, results can be displayed in the following additional languages: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
The API offers a free tier of up to 3,600 requests/hour.
