Wikivoyage as an API — the free, community-written worldwide travel guide, the travel sister project of Wikipedia. Wikivoyage covers countries, cities, regions, neighbourhoods and points of interest with practical, freely-licensed advice on what to see and do, how to get around, and where to eat and sleep. This API wraps the official Wikivoyage MediaWiki service into clean JSON. /v1/destination?title=Paris returns a destination's guide: its one-line description, the introductory guide text as plain readable prose, its geographic coordinates, a thumbnail image and the canonical URL — everything to present a destination at a glance. /v1/search?q=beaches searches the travel guides by keyword and returns matching destination titles with a short snippet, for building destination finders and autocomplete. /v1/nearby?lat=48.8584&lon=2.2945&radius=10000 finds destinations and points of interest within a radius (up to 10 km) of any coordinate, sorted by distance — perfect for "what is worth visiting near me" and map-based discovery. Titles are Wikivoyage article names such as Paris, Rome, Tokyo or Paris/7th arrondissement. Ideal for travel apps, trip planners, tourism dashboards, location-based discovery and chatbots.

Ideal for travel, tourism, maps, education and cultural-discovery apps.
