Administrative divisons of countries as a JSON API over Github
Why?
The current alternatives are unreliable:
- Rate limited
- No uptime gurantee
- Require API key and have a quota
About
This repo automagically serves an "API" over Rawgit (Cloudflare network). No limits and uptime is guranteed. To get the administrative division of a particular country, simply make a GET request to:
https://rawcdn.githack.com/kamikazechaser/administrative-divisions-db/master/api/{COUNTRY_CODE}.json
# For example
https://rawcdn.githack.com/kamikazechaser/administrative-divisions-db/master/api/KE.json
