Getting Lists of States and Provinces

This tutorial provides instructions for obtaining a list of states or provinces that are located within a specific country.

When creating forms where users are required to enter address information, a dropdown list of states or provinces might need to be displayed. The /regions resource is used to obtain the data needed for populating the options in the list.

How to Obtain a List of States or Provinces

To begin, you must first determine the region ID for a selected country. If you do not know this ID, call the /regions resource to get a full list of supported countries, along with their IDs.

Next, call the /regions resource again, this time setting the request’s parentRegion query parameter with your selected country’s region ID. The API will return a list of the states/provinces that are located within that country. Please note that each item in the list will include a TYPE property set to “STATE_PROVINCE.”

For example:

{
  "regions": [
    {
      "_meta": {
        "href": "https://tgno-mobility.cloudhub.io/mobility/v1/regions?parentRegion=70144640",
        "hrefParent": "https://tgno-mobility.cloudhub.io/mobility/v1/regions?parentRegion=70144640=70144640"
      },
      "abbreviation": "AL",
      "id": "158385987",
      "name": "Alabama",
      "parentId": "70144640",
      "type": "STATE_PROVINCE"
    },
    {
      "_meta": {
        "href": "https://tgno-mobility.cloudhub.io/mobility/v1/regions?parentRegion=70144640",
        "hrefParent": "https://tgno-mobility.cloudhub.io/mobility/v1/regions?parentRegion=70144640=70144640"
      },
      "abbreviation": "AK",
      "id": "158385986",
      "name": "Alaska",
      "parentId": "70144640",
      "type": "STATE_PROVINCE"
    },

    ...

    {
      "_meta": {
        "href": "https://tgno-mobility.cloudhub.io/mobility/v1/regions?parentRegion=70144640",
        "hrefParent": "https://tgno-mobility.cloudhub.io/mobility/v1/regions?parentRegion=70144640=70144640"
      },
      "abbreviation": "WY",
      "id": "158386042",
      "name": "Wyoming",
      "parentId": "70144640",
      "type": "STATE_PROVINCE"
    }
  ]
