Haha - this is actually on my curriculum vitae...

"Get Country Data (GCD) A microservice that returns a country's geographical location information.

I developed Get Country Data because I wanted to reduce the amount of costly calls my apps were making to the Google Geocoding/Places API and I wanted to know additional information like currency names, currency acronyms, currency symbols (HTML entities), international telephone calling codes.

The data came out of multiple other projects I was working on. The data is not read from any external source or a local database but rather it's kept in-memory. The code base contains 42 472 lines of code.

Get Country Data is running in Google App Engine on PHP 5.5."

Would someone like to assist me in growing this?
