I want to take the city name from my site user and want to give the suggestions to them that there are these many cities of this name. Site user will select on the base of the suggestions.
To achieve this, what can be the proper way?
Should I call the geonames webservices with full text search? I want to search the city for the entire world?
Or should I use the DB? If the DB is proper then from where I can get the dump for same?
I want to give the suggestions for the city that are entered by my site users. What can be the better way? should I use the webservice provided by geonames or should I dumb the DB locally and search into that?
I need to verify the postal code added by my site user. Is there any webservice provided by geonames?
Is geonames providing the data of the postal code for the entire world? If geonames are providing the data of the postal code for the entire world then i can store it in my db and search in that.
Hi Marc,
I sent a request to the info (at) geonames (dot) org.
Our new service is using the API right now for global postal code lookup. its working well, but would like to convert to database to reduce the number of network calls and parsing.
Let me the the requirements for the global postal code database dump that you maintain. We will gladly donate / give full credit where needed.
You can contact me at clientcare (at) soaptray (dot) com.
Thank you kindly.
