You should find an example below the doc if you scan the page for
list=geosearch, I think it has this:
It is possible to use the geosearch query as a generator for getting
page information, like revision ids (is that what you meant by
curid?). In wikigeo I wanted to get back image information, summary
text, categories etc, so my api call was somewhat involved. I could
try to write up something about it if you are interested.

Thank you Ed,
indeed, I am looking for smthing like this!
I see your examples, is it possible to extend the json in order to get also
the curid of articles, not only the url and titles of wiki pages?
Could you also add an example of how to use the list=geosearch api ?
(this is wrong .. :)

thank you!

You might be interested in the list=geosearch API call. I used it in
my demo service ici, which displays articles about your current
location:

I actually ended up pulling out the api querying bits into a separate
Javascript library called wikigeo that takes some coordinates, and
will query the Wikipedia API, and format the results as GeoJSON for
easy placement on Leaflet or Google Maps.

Hi,
wiki exposes the nearby search of articles:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby
I now you can use prop=coordinates to expose the coordinates of one
article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=coordinates&tit…
Is there any api to expose the nearby service for fetching articles
close to
one's coordinate?
How to do the nearby above?
