Hi everyone,

When I try to search a city with namePrefix the endpoint search across region field and not in name or city field.

Please try namePrefix=São P and language=pt

Thanks

My pleasure! Thanks for helping improve the api

Works fine! Great work, thanks a lot

Try again

Ah yes, because it only considers word boundaries to be spaces. I could update it to include dashes. That should fix this.

To get regional cities, you need to use a slightly different endpoint:

GET /v1/geo/countries/{countryID}/regions/{regionId}/cities

See the full REST API docs for details on the endpoints and available params.

Sorry, we are trying some examples for the city Donostia-San Sebastián and we have this issue:

If we type “Sebas” it return in the list Donostia-San Sebastián.
If we type “San Sebas” it doenst return it.

Other question, can we filter the cities by region id?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Wow, now works fine!

Thank you for the quickness 😉

I just updated the logic to have the namePrefix value start matching at the beginning of every word in the name. Try it out.

Hi. Yes this is something I’ve been thinking about recently in fact. One solution could be to modify the namePrefix logic to start matching on the prefix at different words in the overall name, but this might be confusing in terms of the param name. Another would be to introduce a nameSearch param. I’ll think about this and get back to you.
