ODS World Level Countries - World
This API provides access to a geographical reference dataset covering world countries, part of the Geographical repository maintained by Opendatasoft. It includes country-level records enriched with associated dependencies and sovereign states (such as France and its overseas territories), along with simplified geometries suitable for mapping and visualization. The dataset is designed for use by data processors and tools requiring standardized country reference data, and offers free, unauthenticated access with national-level scope for France within a broader worldwide coverage context.This dataset is part of the Geographical repository maintained by Opendatasoft. This dataset contains data for countries. Processors and tools are using this data. Enhancements Merge countries and Dependencies/Sovereign states (like France and overseas territories).
