The core of The-Datagarden platform is defined by its API, providing endpoints that allow you to retrieve all relevant regional data from our comprehensive worldwide country-region hierarchy database. This hierarchical structure serves as the foundation for organizing and accessing various types of regional data, with each data point carefully mapped to specific regions within this hierarchy. The-Datagarden is a RESTful API with logical resources like 'Country' and 'SubRegion', featuring predictable resource-oriented URLs, JSON-encoded responses, and standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs, enabling precise and contextual data retrieval.
The platform implements a structured hierarchical system where each region is connected to its parent region, creating a clear and navigable tree structure. Through the regions resource, you can easily traverse this hierarchy by looking up child regions or parent regions for any specific location.
The subregion structure is a nested structure, as countries typically have multiple levels of administrative divisions. These subdivisions are primarily based on each country's official regional administrative setup.
For each resource, you can request relevant information such as parent region, child regions, GeoJSON data, and associated regional data. This allows you to efficiently navigate the hierarchy and retrieve specific data points. For detailed information about each regional resource, please refer to the documentation for World, Continent, Country, and Subregion.
The-Datagarden houses an extensive collection of regional data records, each conforming to specific data models such as Demographics, Economics, and more. These records are created for regions at all levels of the hierarchy, utilizing reliable public sources. This structured approach ensures consistent data organization and easy access across different regional scales.
