# Get Countries

<mark style="color:blue;">`GET`</mark> `https://api2.sms4sats.com/getCountries`

Returns an array of available countries with their corresponding country codes. Use the `id` field as the `country` parameter in other endpoints.

{% hint style="info" %}
The API also accepts country names as strings (e.g. `country="germany"`) in most endpoints. Use this endpoint when you need to look up exact numeric country codes.
{% endhint %}
