administrative-divisons-db
administrative-divisions-db serves administrative regions as static per-country JSON files (e.g. api/KE.json) sourced from GeoNames, fronted by GitHack's Cloudflare CDN in front of the raw GitHub repo instead of a conventional backend. There's no rate limit or uptime concern beyond GitHub's own availability, and no API key is required for any request.
