How can I get city name from a latitude and longitude point?

Is there a way to get a city name from a latitude and longitude point using the google maps api for javascript?

If so could I please see an example?

BigDataCloud also has a nice API for this, also for nodejs users.

they have API for client - free. But also for backend, using API_KEY (free according to quota).

Their GitHub page.

the code looks like:

const client = require('@bigdatacloudapi/client')(API_KEY);

async foo() {
    ...
    const location: string = await client.getReverseGeocode({
          latitude:'32.101786566878445', 
          longitude: '34.858965073072056'
    });
}
