## Geomelon — World Cities, Regions & Countries

Multilingual geographic reference data — cities, regions, and countries — sourced from
[Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org) and maintained by [Geomelon](https://geomelon.dev). Every
city carries population, coordinates, elevation, area, postal/dialing codes, settlement type, and
name translations into 50+ languages. Released under **CC0 1.0** — public domain, no attribution
required, free for commercial use.

One **config per country** (see the dropdown above) — pick a country to avoid downloading the
whole corpus. Coverage grows as more countries are exported; see the full current list in the
`configs` block or at [geomelon.dev/data-packages](https://geomelon.dev/data-packages/).

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

spain = load_dataset("geomelon/cities", "spain", split="train")
spain[0]
# {'id': '...', 'name': 'Barcelona', 'translations': {'ca': 'Barcelona', 'ja': 'バルセロナ', ...},
#  'population': 1620343, 'latitude': 41.3825, 'longitude': 2.1769, ...}
```

### This is one of several ways to use Geomelon data

This dataset is a static, offline-friendly export. If you need something else:

| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| Live, always-current, searchable API | [Geomelon API on RapidAPI](https://rapidapi.com/hom3chuk/api/geomelon) — free tier, no credit card |
| Free keyless city autocomplete (no API key) | [Free City Autocomplete API](https://geomelon.dev/free-city-autocomplete-api/) |
| Data shipped with your JS/TS build instead of an npm dependency on `datasets` | Per-country npm packages — [`@geomelon/<country>`](https://geomelon.dev/data-packages/), same source, same license |
| Typed TypeScript/JS client | [`geomelon`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/geomelon) on npm — zero-dependency |
| Typed Python client | [`geomelon`](https://pypi.org/project/geomelon/) on PyPI — zero-dependency, 3.8+ |
| React autocomplete component | [`geomelon-react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/geomelon-react) — headless hook + component |
| AI agent / LLM tool-calling access | [MCP server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/geomelon-mcp) (`geomelon-mcp`) — also hosted keylessly at `https://mcp.geomelon.dev/mcp` |
| No-code / workflow automation | [n8n community node](https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-geomelon) (`n8n-nodes-geomelon`) |
| Full docs, OpenAPI spec, everything above in one place | [geomelon.dev](https://geomelon.dev) |
