World Cities Geolocation Data

Geolocation data for all of the cities in the world as json/csv. See Examples.

world_cities (More precise. Villages, towns, and cities of 1000 or more in population. Bigger file size)
world_cities_5000 (Average. Towns and cities of 5000 or more in population)
world_cities_15000 (Least precise. Large towns, and cities of 15000 or more in population. Smaller file size)

You can generate your own custom list with extra data with the python script.

NPM install planned.

Custom Lists

You can choose whether you want to include cities/places with a population greater than '500', '1000', '5000', or '15000'.
