Forum Thread: Adding ISO Country Codes to API Responses
This thread belongs to the Undata Api community forum, the place where members post ideas and feature requests for the data service. The original request and the reply that followed are summarised below.
Feature request: ISO country codes in answers
One member suggested that any answer containing a country name should also return a separate field with that country's ISO code — for instance "DE" for Germany, "SA" for Saudi Arabia or "US" for the USA. The proposed output would sit alongside the existing country field, pairing a "Country or Area" value such as Andorra with a "CountryISO" value of AD. According to the member, this would make it easier to build multilingual services.
