The API provides detailed information about countries, such as states, flags, and calling codes, allowing developers to easily integrate specific data into their applications. Whether you're building a travel application, an educational tool, or a global directory, this API offers comprehensive data that is required.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
