CountriesNow is an Open source API for retrieving geo-information for countries, including their states, cities, population, etc. 🌎

CountriesNow API

A curation of Countries data including (dial codes, states, cities, currencies, capitals etc) served over a REST API so you don't have to have them locally in your applications. This means lighter application sizes as you wouldn't have to install another package to use geo data. Please note that this doesn't guarantee complete or correct data, feel free to raise issues where necessary.

USAGE

The API does not require any form of Authentication or token.

const BASE_URL = 'https://countriesnow.space/api/v0.1/countries'

let getCountries = async () => {
  const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}`).then(response => response.json())
  const { data } = response

  data.forEach((country) => {
    console.log(country) // {"country": "Afghanistan", "cities": [ "Herat", "Kabul", "Kandahar", "Molah", ...]}
  })
}

The API does not require any form of Authentication or token.
