Providing a public API for States and Cities in Nigeria

21

Underscore should have been used instead

22

why though?

23

See @logbon72ā€™s previous post.

I think you should reconsider using hyphen in property names, it makes the properties a bit difficult to use directly with JavaScript.

24

I forgot to mention that we fixed this days back. Itā€™s now

{
  "name": "Lagos",
  "maxLat": 6.7027984,
  "minLong": 3.0982732,
  "longitude": 3.3792057,
  "maxLong": 3.696727799999999,
  "minLat": 6.3936419,
  "latitude": 6.5243793,
  "capital": "Ikeja"
}

Will it be possible to integrate the boundary data I sent? May be an extra call :wink:

26

Damn. Thanks. Also @logbon72 Iā€™ll talk to the guys about the boundary data. I think we tried to add it one time.

27

Can you make a pull request please? https://github.com/devcenter-square/states-cities

28

OK, Iā€™ll do so

29

Nice job, Guys. But one question, how do I pull out State Codeā€¦

30

Nice work, How do I implement it into a non python app

31

Needs a lot more data than just states and cities. States and towns would help. There are more than 1,000 of those. Also, Google is doing the same thing so donā€™t know how useful this will be long-term.

32

This should be integrated into the Postcode thing suggested by @OoTheNigerian

Probably should be the other way around, since this one has actually taken off?

There are endpoints specified in the README. Just find a way to consume the API on your app.

I pointed out that state code endpoints ainā€™t mentioned in the readme.md.
Truly, plenty more data is needed to make it more comprehensive, Iā€™m looking at the social xteristics like language, food, resources, geopolitical zone, etc #JustThinkingAloud

36

This project will soon have to rename itself from states-cities to states-wiki with the impending bloat.
