I checked with above data but the credit usage exceeds for that user account, I tried with the new account it's working, please find the curl call below,

$ch = curl_init();
    $url = "http://api.geonames.org/citiesJSON";
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, 1); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "north=44.1&south=-9.9&east=-22.4&west=55.2&lang=de&username=chez");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
