GeoNames Library
================

[](#geonames-library)

This library aims to aggregate the [GeoNames](https://geonames.org/) API as well as compile a locally stored geo database service from the GeoNames data dump.

> The GeoNames geographical database covers all countries and contains over eleven million placenames that are available for download free of charge.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Bit64\GeoNames\GeoNamesApi;

$api = new GeoNamesApi([
	'username' => 'demo',
	'lang' => 'en',
]);

$lookup = $api->get([
	'geonameId' => 3369157,
]);

print($lookup['name']);

// Output
Cape Town

```

[Read the documentation](./docs/Docs.md) for more information.

*This library may not be a complete work, as it is going to be continually developed until it meets the requirements for its general intended purpose*
