/v2/* → version retirement
restcountries.com
Deprecated, no date
The provider deprecated the v2 API without a shutdown date. This deprecation affects all /v2/* requests, which will eventually fail. The provider stated that earlier versions were public iterations and have been deprecated in favor of v5.
Calls it hits
/v2/*
What to use instead of these calls
Migrate your calls to api.restcountries.com/countries/v5, such as /countries/v5/names.common/{name}. The move requires more than changing an address, as field names changed in v5 and you must choose an account plan to obtain an API key for the Authorization Bearer header.
v5 needs an account and an API key (free tier, paid plans above it).
In restcountries.com's words
The Countries API is currently at v5 , the first version we consider long-term stable ; versions v1 – v4 were public iterations and have been deprecated.
