Is there any api to expose the nearby service for fetching articles close to

How to do the nearby above?
Special:Nearby is a feature of the MobileFrontend extension. You

asking for API access to the data.
If you already have an account on Wikimedia's bugzilla and are signed
in, this link will take you to the right place to file the request:
