Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way for me to get the country ISO code, instead of the request.remote\_ip ([Hubspot variables](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/hubl/variables#http-request-variables)). Since, Hubspot smart rules do this (setting smart rules by country), I thought they might be a way for me to get that value, or should I use an api for this in my modules?

Simon

Hi @SRitchot

Not sure if this is of any assistance, but there is also **request.geoip\_country**.

Maybe related to what you are doing, @prasadcolumbus asked this [question](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CMS-Development/In-Hubl-language-how-to-get-country-code-or-country-name/td-p/304139) and @mansigovani also mentioned that variable

Hi @dennisedson ,

This is indeed what I was looking for, thank you so much. I was wondering if you knew were it was referenced in the HubSpot documentation. If I google the **request.geoip\_country** , I do get the community response you mentionned but I can’t seem to find a reference to this varaible in the Documentation.

@SRitchot

Good question. I was looking for it also and couldn’t find it. Asked around and it appears it has never been officially documented. I believe I found it a few years ago on the developer slack group…

While looking through that slack group just now, I did see that someone said that it might not be the most reliable, though.
