Initialize the Client

from countries_data import CountriesData

client = CountriesData()

Get Country Data

from countries_data import CountriesData

client = CountriesData()
# Get data for a specific country using ISO code
country_data = client.get_country_data_by_code("US")

Get Subdivisions

from countries_data import CountriesData

client = CountriesData()

# Get all subdivisions for a country as list
subdivisions = client.get_country_subdivisions_by_code("US")

# Get a specific subdivision by code
subdivision = client.get_country_subdivision_by_codes("US", "CA")

Get Translations

from countries_data import CountriesData

client = CountriesData()

# Get all country names in a specific language
spanish_names = client.get_translated_countries_names_by_lang_code("es")

# Get a specific country name in a language
spanish_name = client.get_translated_country_name_by_codes("es", "US")
