Hello, i want to use the Geonames API for my iOS App but i need a Autocomplete / Autosuggestions Funktion similar to the Google Maps Autocomplete Service --> https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/autocomplete?hl=en

Does the Geonames API implement such Functionality ?

Cheers

Hi Tronix

The search service has a name_startsWith parameter which can be used for autocomplete:

Is it possible to autocomplete a country field with country name strictly beginning by "serach terms" ? With http://api.geonames.org/searchJSON?name_startsWith=g&maxRows=10&featureCode=PCLI&style=MEDIUM&orderby=relevance&username=demo, I get 63 results including China as most relevant result (because it is based on name and not only country name which is in this case Gweriniaeth Pobl Tsieina )

@Tronix
A nice example of javascript autocomplete based on json web service is given here : http://www.geonames.org/export/ajax-postalcode-autocomplete.html
