Country.io

Country.io Data API

Country.io exposes six static JSON files under https://country.io. Each file is a flat object keyed by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code and maps to a single reference value: country name, capital city, continent code, ISO3 code, dialing prefix, or currency code. The endpoints are open and unauthenticated.

  description: >-
    Country.io publishes a small set of static JSON files that map ISO 3166-1
    alpha-2 country codes to common reference data (country names, capital
    cities, continent codes, ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes, telephone dialing
    codes, and currency codes). Each endpoint returns a flat JSON object
    keyed by the two-letter country code.
