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
