Use GeoNames in Okou
Use the GeoNames web services to search the GeoNames place database, look up a place by geonameId, reverse geocode latitude and longitude into a nearby place, country, subdivision, timezone, or ocean, search and look up postal codes, read country information, and browse place hierarchies.
Once connected, supported GeoNames actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.
