REST Countries

Academia

Learning, teaching, or researching with REST Countries? We'd love to help. Students and educators can get an enhanced free plan with higher limits, and it's easy to set up: if you have an .edu email address, just drop us a line. No discount codes, no paperwork.

Who qualifies

This is for non-commercial academic work at a school or university. You're in good company if you're one of:

  • A student using the API for classwork, an assignment, or a thesis
  • A teacher or professor building lessons, demos, or examples
  • A researcher pulling country data for a study or paper

How it works

Just email support from your .edu address and ask for the enhanced free plan. Tell us a bit about what you're building or studying so we know it's for academic use, and we'll bump up your limits. You'll usually hear back within a business day.

One thing to keep in mind: the enhanced plan is for academic use only, so it's not meant for a commercial product's live traffic, even from a .edu address. And if your school address doesn't end in .edu, reach out anyway and we'll happily sort out your eligibility.
