Battuta
Battuta is a keyed country/region/city lookup API: register for a free 32-byte API key, then query country, region, or city resources with a 500-request cap enforced per key (higher volume requires contacting the operator directly). It's plain-HTTP only — a live HTTPS handshake against the same host fails outright — and returns no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header on any request, authenticated or not.
AuthenticationAPI KeySign up with the provider to obtain credentials.
HTTPSNot supportedPlain HTTP only — avoid sending anything sensitive.
CORSDisabledBrowser calls need a server-side proxy.
PricingFreeNo paid tier — free for the documented use case.
FormatsJSONResponses can be requested as JSON.
