Frequently asked questions
How many cities are in the random city generator?
The current GeoNames release contains more than 69,000 populated places, with the exact version and count shown by the data API.
Are the results random?
Yes. Each request uses a fresh seed unless you supply one, and a supplied seed reproduces the same draw from the same dataset version.
Can I draw multiple cities at the same time?
Yes — set the count up to 8 and click Pick to receive that many cities in one result.
Will the same city appear twice if I pick several?
Draws are independent, so there is a small chance of repeats when picking multiple cities at once.
