restcountries.net's Issues

The API source is down

https://restcountries.eu is down.
I will add a new source soon.

Support for other sources

Thank you for this package, it's very helpful in our project. One issue I've come across is the lack of updates on the source (restcountries.eu). Namely Great Britain still being listed as being in the EU. There's a fork running on restcountries.com that's more up to date. See https://gitlab.com/amatos/rest-countries

A thing to consider is to support changing source urls or straight out switching over to this other data source.

It doesnt work

i installed the nuget into my .netstandard library, but when i call the api with an of the methods , i can get an error like no countries returned. am i missing something or the site is down?

[feature]: add support for country states

To update the dataset, create a new file named "states.json" and save it in the /src/RESTCountries.NET/Services directory. The JSON structure of the file should be as follows:

[
  {
    "countryCode": "country code",
    "states": [
      {
        "name": "State name",
        "cities": [
          "Cities in this state"
        ]
      },
      {
        "name": "Another State name",
        "cities": [
          "Cities in this state"
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "countryCode": "another country code",
    "states": [
      {
        "name": "State name",
        "cities": [
          "Cities in this state"
        ]
      },
      {
        "name": "Another State name",
        "cities": [
          "Cities in this state"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

Please ensure that the country alpha 2 code is obtained from the existing data.json file.

To simplify the process, you may automate the task using a script

The GetCountriesByContinentAsync(string continent) not working

No AOT support

When including this package in a project marked for AOT there are issues with the JSON deserialiser, which currently uses (inefficient) reflection.

InvalidOperationException: Reflection-based serialization has been disabled for this application. Either use the source generator APIs or explicitly configure the 'JsonSerializerOptions.TypeInfoResolver' property.

IDD seems not correct

Hi,

thank you for your lib, I saw it on reddit and it fullfills a need I have very recently.

Sadly it seems the IDD is not well implemented.
Here you have a Root and a Suffix, weil Suxffix is a list.

E.g. for Germany your Root is +4 and your suffix is 9.
E.g. for Vatican Country you list the Root as +3 with 2 suffixes: 79 and 906698
E.g. for DomRep your root is +1 and 3 sufffices.

That seems "wrong":

Compared with https://countrycode.org

In Germany +49 is the complete country code. So the logic would be Take Root + Suffix.
In Vatican it seems +379 is the country code. So the logic would be take Root + 1 suffix (no way to find out which one, else then knowing)
In DomRep it seems +1 is the country code. So the logic would be ignore suffix, just take Root.

Can we have a logic in which the country code is a property allways or maybe have the IDD and Suffix all countries the same way?

API source is down

Just found that the API URL found at https://github.com/egbakou/RESTCountries.NET/blob/master/src/RESTCountries.NET/Constants/APIResources.cs

is down at this moment and points to nowhere. The new URL is https://restcountries.com/v3.1 .

Thank you for reading this issue.
