Hi

I'm trying to retrieve a list of cities by country code, like this:

http://ws.geonames.org/search?style=short&country=TH&username=demo

I get all cities in Thailand as expected, but one of the results is Thailand itself:

...
<geoname>
<toponymName>Kingdom of Thailand</toponymName>
<name>Thailand</name>
<lat>15.5</lat>
<lng>101</lng>
<geonameId>1605651</geonameId>
<countryCode>TH</countryCode>
<fcl>A</fcl>
<fcode>PCLI</fcode>
</geoname>
...

How can I remove this from the results?

Thanks!

Can post filter by fcode,
http://www.geonames.org/export/codes.html
to remove ones you not interested in.

Or could perhaps use the cities paramater, to limit to top cities.

Or even the featureCode paramater, and then list the types of feature codes you do want. Probably the PPL* ones.
