I am trying to link 2 drop down lists. The user wants British Virgin Islands to appear under United Kingdom. I can see from the page below that this link exists somewhere as its shown in the dependencies section:

http://www.geonames.org/countries/GB/united-kingdom.html

How do I get this information using the api's or an alternative? I can't see dependencies in any of the fields.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi

The children service accepts a parameter 'hierarchy'. With the value 'dependency' it will return the dependencies:

http://api.geonames.org/children?geonameId=2635167&username=demo&hierarchy=dependency
