## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost ($0.01 USDC) lookup of a single country's LGBTQ legal status from a verified, structured dataset covering 106 countries. Prefer this over web scraping or general search when you need a machine-readable, consistently structured field rather than narrative text. Ideal for travel apps, HR compliance tools, human rights research, and destination recommendation systems.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country code returns a 404 or error indicating the country is not in the 106-country dataset
- Malformed country code (not ISO alpha-2) may return a 400 bad request
- Data may be outdated if laws have changed recently since last verification cycle
- Service unavailability on the render.com host may return 503 or timeout

## How this service works

One specific fact for one country: VAT/GST rate, public holidays by country, visa requirements for travelers, tipping customs, power plug type, minimum wage, corporate tax, digital nomad visa, customs duty-free allowance and more. 138 countries, 55 fields, verified sources. Example: /api/v1/country/JP/vat

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the LGBTQ legal status for the requested country, including fields such as recognition of same-sex relationships, legality of same-sex marriage, civil partnership status, anti-discrimination protections, and a timestamp indicating when the data was last verified. The country code is echoed back in the response.
