I want to get nearby cities from passed latitude and longitude. I have used the geonames and geobytes APIs but want to use Google API for finding nearby cities.

This is my code:

def getNearbyCities(self):

    # lat, lon = self.getLatLon()

    # res_url = urlopen('http://gd.geobytes.com/GetNearbyCities?callback=?&radius=100&limit=100&Latitude=' + str(lat) + '&Longitude=' + str(lon))

    res_url = urlopen('http://getnearbycities.geobytes.com/GetNearbyCities?callback=?&radius=100&locationcode=' + str(self.city))



    resp = str(res_url.read())

    print(resp)

    validate_res = resp.split("b'?(")[-1].split(");'")[0]

    validated_res = ast.literal_eval(validate_res)



    cities_nd_distence = 

    for data in validated_res:

        data_tuple = (data[1], data[7])

        if data[1] not in cities_nd_distence:

            cities_nd_distence.append(data_tuple)

    import pprint

    pprint.pprint(cities_nd_distence)

    return cities_nd_distence

If you only want to get cities based on latitude and longitude, you can have a look at https://github.com/coderholic/django-cities

from cities.models import City                                                                                



from django.contrib.gis.geos import Point                                                                     



from django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions import Distance                                                   



p = Point(-118, 34, srid=4326)                                                                                



City.objects.annotate(distance=Distance('location', p)).order_by("distance").first()
