Countries_API

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.

Get Started with the REST Countries API in JavaScript

When searching any country, searching by name is the best way to go about it. The REST Countries API offers the feature to do this. In return, we get all the available information about that country. We have the option to include the entire name or only a portion of it in our query.

## Search by partial name
The **Name** endpoint is used to search through all available countries. This endpoint gives us access to the complete database of the REST Countries API. The URL for this endpoint is `https://restcountries.com/v3.1/name/{name}`.
### Request parameters
While calling the Name endpoint, we simply need to replace `{name}` in the endpoint URL with the name of the country we want to look up.

Change the name in our query below by clicking the “Edit” button.
Click the “Run” button to list all the countries whose names partially match our search query.
