The REST Countries API provides a vast database of countries’ metadata, including region, language, currency, calling code, and capital city. You can take full advantage of this API by utilizing it to feed online platforms that require essential country-related information. You will start with an introduction to the REST Countries API. You will learn to search a country by its partial and full name. Next, you will learn to list countries that use the same currency or speak the same language. You will then learn how to find the capital city and calling codes to make phone calls. You will also learn to filter the response to an API call to extract the most relevant information. Finally, you will cover the integration of the REST Countries API into a demo application. By the end of this course, you will have sufficient skills to integrate the REST Countries API into your application.
