# Get Countries Info By Code Scraper (`dev_bodex/get-countries-info-by-code-scraper`) Actor This scraper is designed to retrieve detailed information about countries by their respective ISO country codes (e.g., "US" for the United States) or by their currency codes (e.g., "USD" for US Dollar). - **URL**: https://apify.com/dev\_bodex/get-countries-info-by-code-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Eniola Bode](https://apify.com/dev_bodex) (community) - **Categories:** E-commerce, News, Travel - **Stats:** 5 total users, 0 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 1 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $15.00/month + usage To use this Actor, you pay a monthly rental fee to the developer. The rent is subtracted from your prepaid usage every month after the free trial period.You also pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher Apify subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Get Countries Info By Code Scraper This Apify actor is designed to retrieve detailed country information based on either ISO country codes (alpha-2 or alpha-3) or ISO currency codes. The scraper collects essential data about each country, such as country name, capital, population, area, official languages, currency information, and much more. ## Features - **Input Types**: Accepts ISO country codes (e.g., US, GB, USA) or currency codes (e.g., USD, EUR). - **Batch Processing**: Supports processing multiple country or currency codes in one run. - **Comprehensive Data**: Retrieves extensive information about countries, including: **Country name**, **Capital city**, **Official languages**, **Continent**, **International olympic committee**, **Federal information processing standards**, **Domain**, **Currency name, code, and symbol**, **Country calling code**, **Latitude and longitude**, **Fraction unit**, **Numeric currency code**, **Country flag (URL to the image)**, - **Output Formats**: Results are available in JSON. ## How It Works This actor scrapes or pulls data from reliable sources to gather accurate country information based on the input codes provided. It can also fall back on APIs if necessary to ensure complete and up-to-date data. ## Input The input is a JSON object containing the following fields: ```javascript { "codes": ["US"], } ```` **codes**: An array of ISO country or currency codes (either alpha-2, alpha-3 for country codes, or currency codes). ## Output The output is an array of country objects in the selected format. For example: ```javascript [ { "codes": [ "US", ], "info": [ { "flag": "//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a4/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg/23px-Flag_of_the_United_States.svg.png", "country": "United States", "capital": "Washington D.C.", "continent": "America", "language": "English", "alpha2Code": "US", "alpha3Code": "USA", "dialingCode": "+1", "currencyName": "United States Dollar", "currencyCode": "USD", "currencySymbol": "$", "latitude": "37.09024", "longitude": "-95.712891", "ioc": "USA", "domain": ".us", "fips": "US", "fractionalUnit": "Cent[A]", "numericCurrencyCode": "840" } ] } ] ``` ## Example Use Cases \*\* E-commerce platforms \*\*: Ensure valid country or currency codes for international transactions. \*\* Currency Exchange Systems \*\*: Validate country and currency codes. \*\* Travel Agencies \*\*: Display country-specific information such as capital, population, and time zones. \*\* Data Analysts \*\*: Use the data for demographic or geopolitical analysis. ## Output Formats The output can be exported in the JSON formats: ## Usage On the Apify Platform Go to the Get Countries Info By Code Scraper actor on Apify. Provide your input (country or currency codes). Run the actor and wait for it to complete. **Locally via Apify CLI** Install Apify CLI. Run the actor locally using the following command: bash Copy code apify run your-username/get-countries-info-by-code-scraper --input='{"codes": \["US", "GB", "EUR"]}' Input Example ```javascript { "codes": ["US", "GB", "EUR"] } ``` This input will fetch the country information for the United States, United Kingdom And all countries with EUR currencies. For any issues, suggestions, or feature requests, please open an issue or contact us via Apify's support. # Actor input Schema ## `codes` (type: `array`): An array of country codes and currency codes. ## Actor input object example ```json { "codes": [ "US" ] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "codes": [ "US" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("dev_bodex/get-countries-info-by-code-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
