we have some GPS tagged data and we trying to analyze data to see if the data originated from some particular districts in India.

We were originally planing to use google maps api to see of the cords are in a district

but that means too many request .

Is there any way i could extract a gps cords list which could show the boundaries of a physical area like a district or a city or a state from any maps API like googlemaps ,openstreetmaps or any other api .So that we could check it mathematically if the point is inside or outside the area.

OSM has boundaries.

You can download them for example by using Overpass API. Alternatively just use the service provided by wambacher where you can download specific boundaries from OSM: https://osm.wno-edv-service.de/boundaries/
