GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Country Calling Code through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the country calling code data you need with precise field selection, and orchestrate complex data fetching workflows.

Test Country Calling Code in the GraphQL Explorer to confirm availability and experiment with queries.

Credit Cost: Each API called in your GraphQL query consumes its standard credit cost.

GraphQL Endpoint
POST https://api.apiverve.com/v1/graphql
GraphQL Query Example
query {
  callingcode(
    input: {
      country: "FR"
    }
  ) {
    country
    officialName
    countryCode
    callingcodes
    region
    subregion
  }
}

Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.

CORS Support

The Country Calling Code API accepts cross-origin requests from any origin, so it can be called directly from browser-based applications without a proxy. See CORS support →

Rate Limiting

Country Calling Code requests are throttled per minute on the Free plan and unthrottled on paid plans. Exceeding the limit returns 429 Too Many Requests; rate-limit usage is reported in the X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. See per-plan limits and best practices →

Error Codes

The Country Calling Code API uses standard HTTP status codes — 200 on success, 400 for invalid parameters, 401 for missing or invalid keys, 403 for insufficient credits, 429 for rate-limit exhaustion, and 500/503 for server-side issues. Each error response includes an X-Request-ID header you can quote when contacting support. See full error handling guide →

SDKs for Country Calling Code

Official Country Calling Code packages on npm, PyPI, NuGet, and JitPack — plus a Postman collection and an OpenAPI spec. See the SDK guide →

No-Code Integrations

Country Calling Code works with Zapier, Make, Pipedream, n8n, and Power Automate using the same API key. See setup guides →
