FAQ

Questions REST Countries owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I retrieve a list of all countries with specific data points?

    Use the get_all_countries capability. You must provide a comma-separated list in the fields parameter (e.g., 'name,capital,population') to specify exactly which information you want to receive.

  • 02

    Can I find countries based on the currency they use?

    Yes! Use the search_by_currency capability and provide the currency name or code (like 'euro' or 'USD'). The agent will return all countries where that currency is legal tender.

  • 03

    Is it possible to filter countries by their geographic region?

    Absolutely. Use the filter_by_region capability with values like 'Europe', 'Americas', 'Asia', 'Africa', or 'Oceania' to get a list of countries in that specific part of the world.
