Overview

This node retrieves detailed geographical information about countries, states, and cities based on ISO codes. Specifically, the 'Get Country by Code' operation fetches detailed information about a country using its ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (2 letters). This is useful for workflows that require standardized country data, such as validating user input, enriching datasets with country details, or integrating with systems that use ISO country codes.

Use Case Examples

1. Get detailed information about the United States by providing the country code 'US'.
2. Fetch country details for Brazil using the country code 'BR'.
3. Retrieve country information for Canada with the code 'CA'.
