🌍 REST Countries Reference Data Scraper
🚀 Pull rich reference data on every country worldwide: capital, currency, flag, languages, region, timezone, and 30+ more fields per country.
The REST Countries Reference Data Scraper pulls rich metadata on every country in the world from the REST Countries open dataset. Output includes official + common names, capital, currencies, languages, region/subregion, calling code, top-level domain, area, population, flag image, coat-of-arms, timezones, borders, IDD codes, demonym, FIFA code, and 20+ other fields.
The dataset covers all 250 countries and territories. Filters run server-side, so a single run can isolate every country in Europe, every nation that uses the Euro, every Spanish-speaking country, or every country whose capital starts with a specific letter.

| Travel platforms, e-commerce checkout, education tools, SaaS product UIs, journalists, ML pipelines | Country-dropdown UIs, currency conversion lookups, telephone-code autocomplete, learning-app fact cards, geo-aware product features |
