Cities Lookup API

Cities Lookup is a city search API that searches over 150,000 global cities to find country codes, population counts, and city size classifications by name. Paid plans add GeoJSON coordinates and custom match limits.

The Cities Lookup API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate cities lookup functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready cities lookup capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
