ISO Codes

ISO Alpha-2 codes are standardized two-letter codes used to represent countries. They come from the ISO 3166-1 standard and are commonly used in APIs, URLs, settings, and configuration files.

Using these short codes keeps data consistent, readable, and language-independent.

Thats why Skyridge uses ISO Alpha-2 codes (2 LETTER ONLY) for phone_iso and country_iso in most of the csvs.

🛠 How to Use Them

• Always use uppercase letters (US, not us)

• Use the code instead of the full country name

ℹ️ Good to Know

• Each country has one unique code

• The codes never change with language

• Some codes may look unusual (e.g. GB instead of UK) — this is intentional and standardized
