[enhancement] Proposal: Pull Data from GeoNames? #2

Open ret2src opened 1 year ago

Great project! I just looked into your code because I was interested in extending it for Germany. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an official, regularly updated, and free source for the required information. Even the German postal service wants to charge money for the data :-(

However, what I could find was a resource that would (theoretically) allow your tool to be easily extended to all (...or at least most?) countries in the world: https://www.geonames.org/

Looking into their exports for German cities at http://download.geonames.org/export/zip/ left a good first impression; they might even offer CSV exports?

You might want to look into the GeoNames database as well.

Hi!

I wanted to add other countries too :) I'm looking into it, your resource is really interesting!
