Geo
Find articles near a coordinate or near another article.
Many Wikipedia articles carry coordinates. wiki lets you search by them.
Near a coordinate
Give a latitude and longitude, as one lat,lon argument or as two, and a
radius in metres (up to 10000):
wiki geosearch 48.8584,2.2945 --radius 2000
wiki geosearch 51.5007 -0.1246 -n 20
Each result has the title, its coordinates, the distance in metres, and a URL:
wiki geosearch 40.7484,-73.9857 -o jsonl
Near another article
When you have a place rather than numbers, search around its article:
wiki nearby "Eiffel Tower" --radius 1000
wiki nearby "Statue of Liberty" -n 15
A small workflow
List the URLs of everything within 500 metres of a landmark:
wiki nearby "Colosseum" --radius 500 -o url
