GobalDB API

GobalDB API

If you need global city, region, and country data, this is the API for you.

API description

With this API you can obtain statistics about the world's cities, regions, and nations. Filter cities by prefix of their names, nation, location, time zone, and even minimum population (currently over 500,000 towns, cities, and counties). Show the findings in several languages and sort by population, elevation, name, country code, or any combination of these. Industry standard practices are followed by RESTful API, including HATEOAS-style links to help page results. 

GobalDB API is the perfect tool for obtaining information about cities, regions and countries. With this API you can, for example: retrieve and update records in Global Data, perform CRUD operations on single or multiple Global Data Table records at once, clear an entire Global Data Table, list the accessible Global Data structures available to the Global Data API, and many more things.

Features:
  • Get Administrative Divisions info: Filter by optional criteria to find administrative divisions data.
  • Get Administrative Divisions Details: Get information on a certain administrative division, such as its location, population, and elevation above sea level (if available).
  • Get Cities data: Find cities’ information based on criteria. 

 

The information obtained is (among many more):

  • Name of division or city.
  • Region and its code.
  • Latitude and longitude.
  • Population.

Zyla API Hub is, in other words, an API MarketPlace. An all-in-one solution for your developing needs. You will be accessing our extended list of APIs with only your user. Also, you won't need to worry about storing API keys, only one API key for all our products is needed.

Prices are listed in USD. We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble with paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Sometimes depending on the bank's fraud protection settings, a bank will decline the validation charge we make when we attempt to be sure a card is valid. We recommend first contacting your bank to see if they are blocking our charges. If more help is needed, please contact [email protected] and our team will investigate further

Prices are based on a recurring monthly subscription depending on the plan selected β€” plus overage fees applied when a developer exceeds a plan’s quota limits. In this example, you'll see the base plan amount as well as a quota limit of API requests. Be sure to notice the overage fee because you will be charged for each additional request.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

Just go to the pricing page of that API and select the plan that you want to upgrade to. You will only be charged the full amount of that plan, but you will be enjoying the features that the plan offers right away.

Yes, absolutely. If you want to cancel your plan, simply go to your account and cancel on the Billing page. Upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations are immediate.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 9 am to 6 pm (GMT+1). If you reach us after that time, we will be in contact when we are back. Also you can contact us via email to [email protected]
