# Get Region

Returns which region served the request. Useful for confirming you're hitting the regional endpoint you intended, or for debugging routing through `api.snipp.gg`.

## Behavior

* No authentication required.
* `region` is the short region code (for example, `eu-west-1` or `us-west-1`). Returns `unknown` if the server has no region configured.
* `country` is the country name mapped from the region code (for example, `United Kingdom`). `null` if no country mapping is available.
* `label` is a human-readable form (for example, `United Kingdom (eu-west-1)`). Falls back to the raw region code if no country mapping is available.

## Examples

Confirm EU West is responding:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X GET "https://eu-west-1.api.snipp.gg/region"
```

Check which region `api.snipp.gg` routed you to:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X GET "https://api.snipp.gg/region"
```

## Responses

```json theme={null}
{
  "region": "eu-west-1",
  "country": "United Kingdom",
  "label": "United Kingdom (eu-west-1)"
}
```
