A public GraphQL API for information about countries, continents, and languages. This project uses [Countries List](https://annexare.github.io/Countries/) as a data source, so the schema follows the shape of that data, with a few exceptions:
|
|
|
|
1. The codes used to key the objects in the original data are available as a `code` property on each item returned from the API.
|
|
2. The `continent` and `languages` properties are now objects and arrays of objects, respectively.
|
|
|
|
## Writing queries
|
|
|
|
```graphql
|
|
{
|
|
country(code: "BR") {
|
|
name
|
|
native
|
|
emoji
|
|
currency
|
|
languages {
|
|
code
|
|
name
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above GraphQL query will produce the following JSON response:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"data": {
|
|
"country": {
|
|
"name": "Brazil",
|
|
"native": "Brasil",
|
|
"emoji": "🇧🇷",
|
|
"currency": "BRL",
|
|
"languages": [
|
|
{
|
|
"code": "pt",
|
|
"name": "Portuguese"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check out [the playground](https://countries.trevorblades.com) to explore the schema and test out some queries.
