Hi Abdeali. We have a geodata search that you might find useful -
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData - it should allow you to
find at least some of the information via mediawiki api. Ideally, i hope we
will be able to integrate geospatial search into wikidata query service, as
that should provide more interesting results.

Hi,
I am a GSoC student making a script using pywikibot to find categories for
Images on commons[0]. One thing I was trying was to use the GPS
coordinateds given by the camera (in EXIF data) to find the location and
add the place's category to it. For example, if I take an image of the
Eiffel Tower it should auto add Category:Paris to it.
For this, I was trying to use the Nominatim service from OSM.
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org is not meant for bulk finding the
geolocations and limits the query rate at 1 query / minute.
I was wondering whether the OSM api was also available on maps
.wikimedia.org ? And whether the Nominatim API is hosted and working ? I
wasn't able to find any documentation about it.
Also, is there any documentation on query limits and so on ?
Regards,
Abdeali JK
