GeoDB Cities API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the GeoDB Cities API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The GeoDB Cities API lets you tap into a rich dataset of worldwide cities, their attributes, and related data. On Pipedream, you can use this API to create workflows that automate location-based tasks, enrich data with geographical context, or power apps with location intelligence. For instance, you could trigger a workflow whenever a new city is added to a database, gather demographic information based on city names, or even integrate with travel platforms to plan itineraries.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
geodb_cities: {
type: "app",
app: "geodb_cities",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"query": `{country(id:"US"){name region(code:"CA"){name populatedPlaces(first:10){totalCount pageInfo{startCursor endCursor hasNextPage}edges{node{name}}}}}}`,
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `http://geodb-free-service.wirefreethought.com/graphql`,
headers: {
"x-rapidapi-key": `${this.geodb_cities.$auth.api_key}`,
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
},
data,
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Weather Alert System: Create a workflow that monitors weather conditions in multiple cities. When certain conditions are met, like the forecast of a storm, trigger notifications to users in the affected cities through an email or SMS service like SendGrid or Twilio.
Local Event Finder: Build a workflow that fetches events from a service like Eventbrite based on the city data retrieved from GeoDB Cities. You can filter events by categories or keywords and send a curated list of local events to subscribers via a messaging platform like Slack.
Travel Itinerary Planner: Use the GeoDB Cities API to offer suggestions for travel destinations. Combine this with the Skyscanner Flight Search API to find the best flight options and craft a complete itinerary. Notify the user with options through a service like Telegram or save the plan to a Google Sheet.
