How It Works

The scraper queries the REST Countries API to retrieve detailed country data. It supports three modes: individual country lookup by name, regional filtering by continent or subregion, and a full dump of all 250 countries. Each response is normalized into a clean, flat JSON structure with consistent field names across all countries.
