This one I think is a good idea :) I do find it informative and pertinent to the summary of the title being retrieved. Nothing should prevent us from implementing this since page coordinates count as a regular page edit.

Good idea indeed. Here's the MW API query that gives us the coordinates: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=coordinates&titles=Boston

I'll create a PR

@Pchelolo @mobrovac - only occasionally do I have a good idea 😉

Seriously - awesome, thanks!

Let's talk API. Here's what the MW API gives us: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData#prop.3Dcoordinates

Do we need just lat+lon? Do we need only primary coords? What of that data do we want to expose? All?

Only primary coordinates. It is a summary after all - and just lat/lon would be good.

I've created a PR to implement this: https://github.com/wikimedia/restbase/pull/758

I've intentionally didn't bump the version of the summary content-type, because bumping it would trigger regeneration of all of the summaries.
@Fjalapeno so you guys intent to use this data soon? If yes we can bump the content-type version and trigger the regeneration and pay the latency price, it no we can just let it update naturally.

@Pchelolo no need to bump it - the first to use it would be iOS maps which will be in development at least until next month

Thanks again
