client.geo.continent_code
STRING, read-only.
Available inall subroutines.
Two-letter code representing the continent. Possible codes are:
| Code | Continent |
|---|---|
AF | Africa |
AN | Antarctica |
AS | Asia |
EU | Europe |
NA | North America |
OC | Oceania |
SA | South America |
These continents are defined by UN M.49.
The continent code for the Caribbean countries is NA.
Note that EU refers to the continent name, not to the European Union. For
example, IP addresses allocated to Norway and Switzerland (members of the
European Economic Area and the Schengen Area respectively, but not of the
European Union) are presented with the continent code EU, meaning the
geographic continent of Europe.
