Example Response

Usage Notes

  • Continents provide the broadest geographic categorization in the system
  • The continent_id typically uses a two-letter code (e.g., eu, na, as)
  • When filtering proxy locations, using continent-level filtering provides the broadest geographic targeting
  • The continent object is primarily used for reference and categorization rather than direct operations
  • For more precise geographic targeting, use the country, subdivision, or city objects instead

Continent Codes

The system uses the following standard continent codes: These continent codes are consistent throughout the API and provide a standardized way to reference continents when performing geographic filtering or categorization.
