Getting Player's Country

[qLostful (ethan)]

Does anyone know of any open-sourced modules for getting a user’s full country/region? Localization:GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync() returns GB for me but I want it to be automatically converted to Great Britain, for example.

[iBuzzes (Ryan)]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local LocalizationService = game:GetService("LocalizationService")
local Countries = {}

local success, result = pcall(function()
	return HttpService:GetAsync("http://country.io/names.json")
end)

if success and result then
	Countries = HttpService:JSONDecode(result)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local success, code = pcall(LocalizationService.GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync, LocalizationService, player)
	if success and code then
		print(Countries[code])
	end
end)

Thanks a lot.

How can I get the country code from the actual name? [Ex: Canada → CA]

LocalizationService already does this for you automatically. The reason the HTTP request in the original solution is sent is so it can translate the country/region code to an actual country name (the reverse of what you want to do). Removing the HTTP to the website should have the effect you want.

Made a post about it awhile ago with working code for country codes, check it out if you’d like.

How can I see what region a player is in?

local LS = game:GetService("LocalizationService") game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) local region = LS:GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync(plr) print(plr.Name .."'s Region is: "..region) end)

uh, it returns nil for me, does someone know what might be an issue?

also yes, http requests are enabled :v
