Frage

What I am looking to do is retrieving city statistics. Much like the CIA World Factbook. But, I want an API, database or dataset that I can query and get results. Also, I would actually PREFER to use a UIWebView and load a website with those statistics already searched and displayed. Like TheWeatherChannel for instance, I can form a URL with given coordinates. But websites like the CIA World Factbook have a unique two letter code for each country, which are not in a particular format.

Also, I would like to get CITY statistics, this would include:

  • Population
  • Crime Rate
  • Description
  • Languages Spoken
  • Transport Systems
  • Geography

and more! I even had an idea to show the type of plugs that country uses. But, I have no idea how and where to look for information like this.

Please help me out...

Lösung

You're asking for very generic data sets and APIs, so you may want to being exploring http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_data, https://explore.data.gov/, and http://www.freebase.com/

Andere Tipps

A little late and it probably doesn't do city level but

http://data.worldbank.org/developers/data-catalog-api

could also be useful for someone looking for similar stuff and it wasn't mentioned (AFAICS) in the above answer's links.

This data also has a drupal module at
