Also, getting bounceback with e-mailing [email protected] for quiz 2 score.

hi @artificialcreative

Looks like that server has been overloaded with requests, take a look at this discussion in our discord: Discord

You should try to pass query parameters to limit the amount of data requested. e.g.:

https://restcountries.com/v3.1/all?fields=name

Hope this helps!

At the time I’m writing this, the only fields needed from the API are the Region, Subregion, and Name, so you can use:

https://restcountries.com/v3.1/all?fields=name,region,subregion

And it returns properly.
