For Agents
Programmatically find cities, get city details. Covers 11 operations with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the GeoDB Cities API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with GeoDB Cities API.
Find cities
Get city details
Integrate GeoDB Cities API into automated workflows
Query and filter GeoDB Cities API records by parameters
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to cities, I want to city details, Search for nearby cities, Find all city distance
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for maps and geolocation only.
GeoDB Cities is a comprehensive API for getting global city, region, and country data. It provides geolocation data including city populations, coordinates, currency info, and locale data. Data is sourced from WikiData. The API exposes 11 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Monitor GeoDB Cities API operational status and events
Patterns agents use GeoDB Cities API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Maps and Geolocation Operations
Use the GeoDB Cities API to perform maps geolocation operations programmatically. The API provides 11 endpoints covering core functionality including find cities, get city details, find nearby cities.
Call GET /geo/cities to find cities
Automated Geo Management
Automate geo operations by combining multiple GeoDB Cities API endpoints. Agents can get city details and then find nearby cities in a single workflow.
Call GET /geo/cities/{cityId} to get city details, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call GeoDB Cities API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'find cities', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
GeoDB Cities API apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'find cities') and Jentic returns the matching GeoDB Cities API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct GeoDB Cities API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using GeoDB Cities API through Jentic.
What authentication does the GeoDB Cities API use?
The GeoDB Cities API uses an API key passed in the `X-RapidAPI-Key` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I find cities with the GeoDB Cities API?
Yes. Use the GET /geo/cities endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the GeoDB Cities API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I find cities through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'find cities'. Jentic returns the matching GeoDB Cities API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the GeoDB Cities API have?
The GeoDB Cities API exposes 11 endpoints covering geo, locale operations.
/geo/countries/{countryId}
Get country details
/geo/countries/{countryId}/regions
Find country regions
/geo/adminDivisions
Find administrative divisions
