Use our data-cli tool designed for data wranglers:
data get https://datahub.io/core/country-list
data info core/country-list
tree core/country-list
# Get a list of dataset's resources
curl -L -s https://datahub.io/core/country-list/datapackage.json | grep path
# Get resources
curl -L https://datahub.io/core/country-list/r/0.csv
curl -L https://datahub.io/core/country-list/r/1.zip
If you are using R here's how to get the data you want quickly loaded:
install.packages("jsonlite", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com/")
library("jsonlite")
json_file <- 'https://datahub.io/core/country-list/datapackage.json'
json_data <- fromJSON(paste(readLines(json_file), collapse=""))
# get list of all resources:
print(json_data$resources$name)
# print all tabular data(if exists any)
for(i in 1:length(json_data$resources$datahub$type)){
if(json_data$resources$datahub$type[i]=='derived/csv'){
path_to_file = json_data$resources$path[i]
data <- read.csv(url(path_to_file))
print(data)
}
}
Note: You might need to run the script with root permissions if you are running on Linux machine
Install the Frictionless Data data package library and the pandas itself:
pip install datapackage
pip install pandas
Now you can use the datapackage in the Pandas:
import datapackage
import pandas as pd
data_url = 'https://datahub.io/core/country-list/datapackage.json'
# to load Data Package into storage
package = datapackage.Package(data_url)
# to load only tabular data
resources = package.resources
for resource in resources:
if resource.tabular:
data = pd.read_csv(resource.descriptor['path'])
print (data)
For Python, first install the `datapackage` library (all the datasets on DataHub are Data Packages):
pip install datapackage
To get Data Package into your Python environment, run following code:
from datapackage import Package
package = Package('https://datahub.io/core/country-list/datapackage.json')
# print list of all resources:
print(package.resource_names)
# print processed tabular data (if exists any)
for resource in package.resources:
if resource.descriptor['datahub']['type'] == 'derived/csv':
print(resource.read())
If you are using JavaScript, please, follow instructions below:
Install data.js
module using npm
:
$ npm install data.js
Once the package is installed, use the following code snippet:
const {Dataset} = require('data.js')
const path = 'https://datahub.io/core/country-list/datapackage.json'
// We're using self-invoking function here as we want to use async-await syntax:
;(async () => {
const dataset = await Dataset.load(path)
// get list of all resources:
for (const id in dataset.resources) {
console.log(dataset.resources[id]._descriptor.name)
}
// get all tabular data(if exists any)
for (const id in dataset.resources) {
if (dataset.resources[id]._descriptor.format === "csv") {
const file = dataset.resources[id]
// Get a raw stream
const stream = await file.stream()
// entire file as a buffer (be careful with large files!)
const buffer = await file.buffer
// print data
stream.pipe(process.stdout)
}
}
})()
ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 English country names and code elements. This list states the country names (official short names in English) in alphabetical order as given in ISO 3166-1 and the corresponding ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code elements.
This list is updated whenever a change to the official code list in ISO 3166-1 is effected by the ISO 3166/MA.
It lists 250 official short names and code elements as of Dec 2012.

ISO makes the list of alpha-2 country codes available for internal use and non-commercial purposes free of charge.
This carries the implication (though not spelled out) that other uses are not permitted and that, therefore, there may be rights preventing further general use and reuse.
