Returns pages having coordinates that are located in a certain area.
- gscoord
Coordinate around which to search.
Format: Latitude and longitude separated by pipe (|).
- gspage
Title of page around which to search.
- gsbbox
Bounding box to search in: pipe (|) separated coordinates of top left and bottom right corners.
- gsradius
Search radius in meters.
- Type: integer
- The value must be between 10 and 10,000.
- Default: 500
- gsmaxdim
Restrict search to objects no larger than this, in meters.
- Type: integer
- gssort
Set the sort order of returned results.
- distance
- Rank pages by their distance to the center.
- relevance
- Rank pages by their relevance according to CirrusSearch, similar to how Special:Search does it. Currently only supported on wikis that use the ElasticSearch backend, see mw:Extension:GeoData#Search backends.
- One of the following values: distance, relevance
- Default: distance
- gslimit
Maximum number of pages to return.
- Type: integer or max
- The value must be between 1 and 500.
- Default: 10
- gsglobe
Globe to search on. See mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GeoData#Glossary for details.
- One of the following values: earth
- Default: earth
- gsnamespace
Namespaces to search.
- Values (separate with | or alternative): 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 118, 250, 251, 252, 253, 710, 711, 828, 829, 2300, 2301, 2302, 2303
- To specify all values, use *.
- Default: 0
- gsprop
Which additional coordinate properties to return. (Properties that are always returned: lat, lon, and either primary or secondary as a boolean flag.)
- type
- Type of the object the coordinates point to. See mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GeoData#Usage for details.
- name
- Name of the object.
- dim
- Approximate size of the object in meters.
- country
- ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. US or RU).
- region
- ISO 3166-2 region code (the part of the ISO 3166-2 code after the dash; e.g. FL or MOS).
- globe
- Which terrestrial body the coordinates are relative to (e.g. moon or pluto). Defaults to Earth. See mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GeoData#Glossary for details.
- Values (separate with | or alternative): country, dim, globe, name, region, type
- Default: globe
- gsprimary
Which kind of coordinates to return.
- primary
- The location of the subject of the article. There is at most one primary coordinate per title.
- secondary
- The location of some object that's mentioned in the article. Any number of secondary coordinates can be associated with a title.
- all
- Return both primary and secondary coordinates.
- One of the following values: all, primary, secondary
- Default: primary
- Search around the point with coordinates 37° 47′ 13.1″ N, 122° 23′ 58.84″ W
