Related question if anyone here knows --
I take a lot of photos for Colorado articles (and areas I visit). I find most of them using
Special:Nearby.
This will give you something like everything within 10 kilometers or the 50 nearest articles.
I'd really like to more easily access data for this purpose. Some use cases being:
(1) If I'm going on a road trip, are there places within some number of kilometers near the road that I could stop by a photograph?
(2) Given any area that I'm at, what are the nearest unphotographed articles (e.g. further than 10km away).
(3) If there's more than 50 places, can I see all of them within a range?
It doesn't look like this is possible using the API, without doing some custom scripting that makes multiple API location queries? e.g. as it's shown here:
Is that true?
It seems like to get all articles I'd need to export coordinates for articles separately and make my own search. Which I'd rather now do.
