Jiji regions
The regions of a country site (states or counties) or, with parent, the towns and areas inside one: id, name, slug (the region parameter of /jiji/v1/search), popular flag and how many sub-regions each has.
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.
Part of the Jiji API: 15 endpoints with prices, use cases and example responses.
Parameters
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
parent | string | A region slug or id to list the areas inside it (e.g. lagos). Example: lagos |
country | ng | ke | gh | ug | tz | et | Country site: ng (default), ke, gh, ug, tz or et. |
Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).
Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/jiji/v1/regions?parent=lagos" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/jiji/v1/regions",
params={"parent": "lagos"},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/jiji/v1/regions");
url.searchParams.set("parent", "lagos");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
Example response (real call, trimmed: lists cut to 2 items, long text shortened, raw left out)
