 <p>You need to use the place.Search function of The Wikimapia API and enter the latitude, longitude and the name of the place as parameters.</p> <p>The API returns a lot of data separated in blocks. The one you are interested in is the <strong>geometry</strong>.</p> <p>You can make tests with the <a href="http://wikimapia.org/api/?action=examples&amp;function=place.search" rel="nofollow">Wikimapia API</a> to filter the results to your needs. With the lat lon parameters and the district name you provided I was able to get the area you needed as the first result.</p> <p>The places[0].polygon is what you need. A JSON array of coordinates.</p> <p>Here´s the url I used to get the results:</p> <p><a href="http://api.wikimapia.org/?key=example&amp;function=place.search&amp;q=Chervonozavodsky-district&amp;lat=49.964473&amp;lon=36.262436&amp;format=json&amp;pack=&amp;language=en&amp;data_blocks=geometry%2C&amp;page=1&amp;count=1" rel="nofollow">http://api.wikimapia.org/?key=example&amp;function=place.search&amp;q=Chervonozavodsky-district&amp;lat=49.964473&amp;lon=36.262436&amp;format=json&amp;pack=&amp;language=en&amp;data_blocks=geometry%2C&amp;page=1&amp;count=1</a></p> <p>Note that in this example i made the request for a JSON result. But you can also ask for a XML if you prefer.</p> <p>Hope it helps!</p>
