# Getting a site's authorized shipping countries

You can use the [`GET /v1/sites/{siteId}/authorized-shipping-countries`](https://docs.digitalriver.com/commerce-api-references/admin-apis/site-management/get-authorized-countries#v1-sites-siteid-authorized-shipping-countries) resource to retrieve a list of all countries authorized to purchase products from your site. The list of [authorized shipping countries](/commerce-api/admin-apis/sites/configuring-authorized-shipping-and-billing-countries.md) is configured in [Global Commerce](https://gc.digitalriver.com/gc/ent/login.do). 

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```javascript
curl --location --request GET 'https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/sites/{siteId}/authorized-shipping-countries' \
--header 'authorization: Basic ***\
...
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="200 OK response" %}
You will receive a `200 OK` response. The response returns data by locale and county.

```json
{  
   "authorizedShippingCountries": [        
      {          
         "locale": "en_US",          
         "countries": [            
            {              
               "displayName": "Taiwan",              
               "countryCode": "TW"            
            },            
            {              
               "displayName": "Japan",              
               "countryCode": "JP"            
            }          
         ]        
      },        
      {          
         "locale": "en_GB",          
         "countries": [            
            {              
               "displayName": "France",              
               "countryCode": "FR"            
            },            
            {              
               "displayName": "Germany",              
               "countryCode": "DE"            
            }          
         ]        
      }      
   ]
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Add the `?locale` query parameter at the end of the request to get the list of authorized shipping countries by locale. For example:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```http
curl --location --request GET 'https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/sites/{siteId}/authorized-shipping-countries?locale=en_US' \
--header 'authorization: Basic ***\
...
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

See the [query parameters](https://docs.digitalriver.com/commerce-api-references/admin-apis/site-management/get-authorized-countries#v1-sites-siteid-authorized-shipping-countries) for more information.
