Countries

With Everbase, you can access a dataset of the world's countries over a GraphQL API.

Do you know how many cities have a population of more than 200 million people? Let's find out:

{
  countries(where: {population: {gt: 200000000}}) {
    name
    population
  }
}

{
  "data": {
    "countries": [
      {
        "name": "Brazil",
        "population": 210147125
      },
      {
        "name": "India",
        "population": 1326093247
      },
      {
        "name": "Indonesia",
        "population": 263991379
      },
      {
        "name": "People's Republic of China",
        "population": 1409517397
      },
      {
        "name": "United States of America",
        "population": 325145963
      }
    ]
  }
}

In the query above, we used gt to find countries with a population greater than a number. We can use lt to do the opposite.

{
  countries(where: {population: {lt: 20000}}) {
    name
    population
  }
}

{
  "data": {
    "countries": [
      {
        "name": "Nauru",
        "population": 13650
      },
      {
        "name": "Tuvalu",
        "population": 11192
      }
    ]
  }
}

Yes, there are two countries with a population of less than 20 thousand. Both are extremely remote islands in the pacific. Fun fact: Did you know the .tv domain is actually the belongs to Tuvalu? Being such a tiny nation, a lot of its income comes from renting out the domain name.

Countries are also accessible via other types. Continents:

{
  continents(where: {name: {eq: "Europe"}}) {
    countries {
      name
    }
  }
}

Or IP geolocation:

{
  client {
    ipAddress {
      country {
        name
      }
    }
  }
}
