World Countries with ISO 2-Letter & 3-Letter Codes

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines standardized short codes for countries so they can be identified unambiguously in systems around the world. ISO 3166-1 includes alpha-2 (two-letter) and alpha-3 (three-letter) codes for all recognized countries and areas.

The IP geolocation API by ipapi.co provides both the 2 letter and 3 letter country codes along with the country in the output.

📌 Notes

• ISO 3166–1 alpha-2 is the two-letter code most often used for country selection menus, internet country domains, and international forms.
• ISO 3166–1 alpha-3 gives a more recognizable three-letter abbreviation that often resembles the country’s name (e.g., USA for United States of America).
