Hello Marc.

No it's not critical. I am a web-developer and just making a web-site for my customer. So I was debugging code when services stopped working and I was wondering where the mistake is.

When I finish the website, I'll give your contact info to my customer. So if he needs to work with commercial servers, he'll contact you.

Thanks,
Eugene

It works fine now. Thanks.

The services haven't been working for about 1 hour already. Even examples from your manual don't load
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceName?lat=47.3&lng=9
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceNameJSON?lat=47.3&lng=9
.....

I hope that it won't last long. How often such troubles happen?

Thanks,
Eugene

Thanks very much. That's exactly what I need. Your services are great.

The problem is with this service
ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceName?style=FULL&lat=48.865618158309374&lng=2.344207763671875

I need to get only country and city names but instead I get the next detailed info:
Code:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
 <geonames>
 <geoname>
 <name>Le Louvre</name>
 <lat>48.8635007970663</lat>
 <lng>2.33875751495361</lng>
 <geonameId>6545270</geonameId>
 <countryCode>FR</countryCode>
 <countryName>France</countryName>
 <fcl>P</fcl>
 <fcode>PPLX</fcode>
 <fclName>city, village,...</fclName>
 <fcodeName>section of populated place</fcodeName>
 <population/>
 <alternateNames/>
 <elevation>0</elevation>
 <adminCode1>A8</adminCode1>
 <adminName1>ГЋle-de-France</adminName1>
 <adminCode2>75</adminCode2>
 <adminName2>DГ©partement de Ville-de-Paris</adminName2>
 <distance>0.8895490128233411</distance>
 </geoname>
 </geonames>

But there is no place where 'Paris' is mentioned (I clicked in the center of the city). How should I get ony country+city information?

Thanks,
Eugene
