I’m currently looking into the GeoData Extension to
make location based Wikipedia queries.
There are still some open questions - would be nice if sb could provide guidance.
- The release status of the extension is still experimental. Is it safe to use it in
production (mobile app)? Are there some hard limit how often I can query the API? Just
thinking when the app gets popular…
- Is there a way to increase the search radius? E.g. When showing a continent (Europe) on
a map, I would like to display articles for all countries (sth like `gsmindim` would be
useful in this case too). I couldn’t find a way to do this other than making multiple
queries for different coordinates which does not scale very well.
Thanks
