## Installation

```shell

npm install wikipedia-location-search

```

## Usage

The module returns a [Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/promise) that will resolve in a list of locations:

```js

const articles = require('wikipedia-location-search')

articles(coordinates, opt)

```

The defaults for `opt` look like this:

```js

{

    language: 'en', // wiki language code

    maxDistance: 10000, // max. distance to the coordinates in meters

    maxResults: 10 // max. number of results returned

}

```

```js

articles({latitude: 37.786952, longitude: -122.399523}, {language: 'de'})

.then(console.log)

```

would give you something like this:

```js

[

    {

        "id": 39927,

        "title": "Wikimedia_Foundation",

        "coordinates": {

            "latitude": 37.78687

        },

        "distance": 169.5

    }

    // … 7 more
