I'm not sure. It looks like they never renewed their SSL certificate. In the meantime, you can use https://restcountries.com/ is a cloned repo that I update frecuently |
|
how do? |
|
you can check this information https://gitlab.com/amatos/rest-countries/-/blob/master/README.md |
|
This now available in v3 version. |
Thanks alot! |
|
The https://restcountries.com/ API works very well minus the flags. because it can be? |
|
Thank you for forking the original repo! Do also experience a slow response time for the URL |
|
Yes. Very slow |
|
you're right. Is taking way too long to respond. I'll take a look at that |
|
Thank you, amatosg you rock! |
it looks like the CPU was at 100% all the time. Now is under 500ms |
|
Message from apilayer support: We no longer support restcountries.eu; however, we do offer a free tier of a similar API on countrylayer.com. See https://countrylayer.com/documentation/ |
|
Does anyone know since which day restcountries.eu is down? |
|
The Free tier from https://countrylayer.com/documentation/ is 100 requests a month, what we are supposed to do with that ^^ |
I thought it was a day.... |

@amatosg What has happened to v2 of the API, for example https://restcountries.com/v2/alpha/col. I updated my code to accommodate 'subregion' becoming 'region', and for 'flags' now being an array containing both SVG and PNG images, but today I notice v2 has reverted back to the old format response - just a single SVG flag, and 'subregion' is back again. Is this an intentional change, and will it now stay like this? Thanks for keeping the API alive! |
|
This API is not for free anymore. To be honest it is horrible now. The documentation shows fields that arent there anymore. Documentation: API Response: This is a perfect example how it shouldnt be made. You cant even filter by field name and so on. This API is dead for me at least. |
@chrismwalker-portfolio yes, the changes were intentional. Sorry about that. The idea is to support the compatibility to this project so migration is easier |
this API is dead for everyone |
No problem, it makes sense to keep it aligned to the original v2 API. Thanks again for all your work! |
|
@amatosg Thanks for the new fork/repo. Donated. |
|
I you have any issues, please report them here |
|
OMG Will the API come back?...seem to be certificate issue |
No, but they offer a free tier where you can make 100 requests per month |
Add easy to find information to readme, quoted from issues apilayer#251 (apilayer#251 (comment)), apilayer#252 (apilayer#252 (comment)) and apilayer#253 (apilayer#253 (comment))
|
@amatosg the website is down. Is there anything that we can to help? |
|
oh noes! we were actually hoping this would be the more stable option? Any word on what's the cause and how long it will take? |
|
v3.1 is down now... |
|
@weilinzung @tricipitinus @rwieruch, if you have an issue with that website, please create an issue on the dedicated issue log like @chrismwalker-portfolio did on GitLab https://gitlab.com/amatos/rest-countries/-/issues or eventually on the mirror on GitHub https://github.com/amatosg/restcountries/issues |
