Answer to this question could be very easy and I might end up feeling foolish for asking this but still...

Is there an API that gives me prominent areas/localities of a city? Workflow in my mind is

  1. Get lat-long from a user's device
  2. Resolve the city based on lat-long (This is done)
  3. Get the important localities/areas of the city
  4. Give these area names as options to user to select from.

Is there any API that can help me automate step 3?

  • I hope you find what you're looking for, but - from the off-topic flagging menu: `Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool, library or favorite off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow` – admdrew Feb 24 '14 at 16:42
  • I believe Google Places will give you what you are looking for: https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/ – Andrew - OpenGeoCode Feb 24 '14 at 16:55
  • What device are you looking at? If you use the android set, geocoder library shall provide your an accurate location info based on gps. If web solution, you may get a web service solution at http://www.ipinfodb.com or DB solution at http://lite.ip2location.com – Chris Lim Feb 25 '14 at 01:42
