What does the Country Boundaries API do?
Country Boundaries is a simple tool for getting the shape of a specific country's border. It returns the shape of the specified country's border.
How do I authenticate Country Boundaries API requests?
Pass your API key in the x-api-key header over HTTPS. One key works across all 300+ APIVerve APIs — there are no per-endpoint credentials.
How much does the Country Boundaries API cost?
Each call spends 10 credits from your shared pool. The free tier includes 200 credits every month, and paid plans add more headroom.
How fast is the Country Boundaries API?
Response time depends on the endpoint — the p50 through p99 latency for this API is published on this page. Requests are served over HTTPS through a global edge network.
What response formats does the Country Boundaries API support?
JSON by default, plus XML and YAML via the format parameter. GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents are available across the catalog.
What HTTP method does the Country Boundaries API use?
GET over HTTPS, following standard REST conventions with a consistent { status, error, data } response envelope.
Request parameters — GET /v1/countryboundaries
Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.
Required
| Parameter | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
countryRequired | string | CA | The Country 2 Letter ISO code (e.g., CA) length 2-2 |
curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/countryboundaries?country=CA" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"Authentication
Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.
| Header | When | Value |
|---|---|---|
x-api-keyRequired | Every request | Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so X-API-Key is the same header. |
AuthorizationAlternate | Instead of the above | Bearer <key> — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing. |
401 is the only auth verdict
A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.
Response — GET /v1/countryboundaries
Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Response fields
Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.
| Field | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
features | array[1] | Array of GeoJSON feature objects containing boundary data | |
geometry | object | {...} | Geometric shape object containing coordinates boundary data |
coordinates | array | Array of arrays | Nested array of longitude and latitude coordinate pairs |
type | string | "MultiPolygon" | Geometry type such as MultiPolygon or Polygon |
id | string | "CA" | Country ISO code identifier for the boundary feature |
properties | object | {...} | Feature properties object with additional metadata |
name | string | "Canada" | Full country name corresponding to ISO code identifier |
type | string | "Feature" | GeoJSON type identifier for individual feature object |
type | string | "FeatureCollection" | GeoJSON type identifier for feature collection |
Response headers
Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.
| Header | What it carries |
|---|---|
x-api-remaining-credits | Credits left in the current cycle |
x-api-credits-used | Credits spent in the current cycle |
x-api-max-credits | The allowance for the cycle |
x-api-version | Version of the endpoint that answered |
Errors
Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.
| Status | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
400 | Input was rejected | Read error; it names the parameter that has to change. |
401 | Key missing or invalid | Check the header name and the key value. |
403 | Key valid, but not permitted here | A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key. |
429 | Rate limited, or out of credits | Read error to tell them apart, then back off or top up. |
What a call costs — 10 credits per call
Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.
| Plan | Per month | Credits | Country Boundaries calls | Per 1,000 calls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 200 | 20 | Free |
| Starter | $29.99 | 200,000 | 20,000 | $1.50 |
| Pro | $99.99 | 1,000,000 | 100,000 | $1.00 |
| Mega | $299.99 | 4,000,000 | 400,000 | $0.75 |
Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
Call it from cURL — GET /v1/countryboundaries
No SDK to install — this is a plain HTTPS call to /v1/countryboundaries with your key in the x-api-key header. Swap in a real key and it runs as-is.

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("x-api-key", "YOUR_API_KEY");

Changelog — Country Boundaries API
Every change to this endpoint, newest first. Breaking changes ship as a new version and the previous one keeps serving — response fields are added, never removed or retyped in place, so an integration written against v1 keeps working.
Nothing recorded yet
Entries are picked up from dated catalog snapshots, so the first one appears after the next snapshot that moves something. A period where nothing changed produces no entry — silence is a valid changelog for the Country Boundaries API.
