--- title: "Country Names and Codes" author: "OJ Watson" date: "2018-11-12" output: rmarkdown::html_vignette vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{Country Codes} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- ## Overview The following shows how to return a table of the country names and 2 letter codes. We can get this information by querying the API using `dhs_countries`, and specifying the `returnFields` argument to just return the country name and DHS country code. This is a useful reference table when you want to pass in country IDs to a number of the API functions, e.g. `dhs_data(countryIds = "BJ")` ```r library(rdhs) ## what are the countryIds ids <- dhs_countries(returnFields=c("CountryName", "DHS_CountryCode")) ids ``` ``` ## DHS_CountryCode CountryName ## 1: AF Afghanistan ## 2: AL Albania ## 3: AO Angola ## 4: AM Armenia ## 5: AZ Azerbaijan ## 6: BD Bangladesh ## 7: BJ Benin ## 8: BO Bolivia ## 9: BT Botswana ## 10: BR Brazil ## 11: BF Burkina Faso ## 12: BU Burundi ## 13: KH Cambodia ## 14: CM Cameroon ## 15: CV Cape Verde ## 16: CF Central African Republic ## 17: TD Chad ## 18: CO Colombia ## 19: KM Comoros ## 20: CG Congo ## 21: CD Congo Democratic Republic ## 22: CI Cote d'Ivoire ## 23: DR Dominican Republic ## 24: EC Ecuador ## 25: EG Egypt ## 26: ES El Salvador ## 27: EK Equatorial Guinea ## 28: ER Eritrea ## 29: ET Ethiopia ## 30: GA Gabon ## 31: GM Gambia ## 32: GH Ghana ## 33: GU Guatemala ## 34: GN Guinea ## 35: GY Guyana ## 36: HT Haiti ## 37: HN Honduras ## 38: IA India ## 39: ID Indonesia ## 40: JO Jordan ## 41: KK Kazakhstan ## 42: KE Kenya ## 43: KY Kyrgyz Republic ## 44: LA Lao People's Democratic Republic ## 45: LS Lesotho ## 46: LB Liberia ## 47: MD Madagascar ## 48: MW Malawi ## 49: MV Maldives ## 50: ML Mali ## 51: MR Mauritania ## 52: MX Mexico ## 53: MB Moldova ## 54: MA Morocco ## 55: MZ Mozambique ## 56: MM Myanmar ## 57: NM Namibia ## 58: NP Nepal ## 59: NC Nicaragua ## 60: NI Niger ## 61: NG Nigeria ## 62: PK Pakistan ## 63: PG Papua New Guinea ## 64: PY Paraguay ## 65: PE Peru ## 66: PH Philippines ## 67: RW Rwanda ## 68: WS Samoa ## 69: ST Sao Tome and Principe ## 70: SN Senegal ## 71: SL Sierra Leone ## 72: ZA South Africa ## 73: LK Sri Lanka ## 74: SD Sudan ## 75: SZ Swaziland ## 76: TJ Tajikistan ## 77: TZ Tanzania ## 78: TH Thailand ## 79: TL Timor-Leste ## 80: TG Togo ## 81: TT Trinidad and Tobago ## 82: TN Tunisia ## 83: TR Turkey ## 84: TM Turkmenistan ## 85: UG Uganda ## 86: UA Ukraine ## 87: UZ Uzbekistan ## 88: VN Vietnam ## 89: YE Yemen ## 90: ZM Zambia ## 91: ZW Zimbabwe ## DHS_CountryCode CountryName ```
