How to Retrieve Nearby Tower Details with Cell ID Using OpenCellID API?

#1

Hello Community,

I’m working on a digital forensics project and need to retrieve nearby cell tower details based on specific latitude and longitude inputs, particularly including the Cell ID.

The API URL provided is: https://opencellid.org/cell/get
Documentation link: OpenCellID API Documentation

Is there an endpoint or parameter within this API that allows fetching nearby tower information by latitude and longitude? If anyone has experience with a similar setup or can recommend the best approach to get nearby tower details using OpenCellID, I’d appreciate the guidance.

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Alpha

When I compare tower locations from CellID and Tower Maps (www.Towermaps.com), I find very significant differences.

Try the getInArea endpoint.
