# GetGeoLocation


Gets information about whether a specified geographic location is supported for Amazon Route 53 geolocation resource record sets.

Route 53 does not perform authorization for this API because it retrieves information that is already available to the public.

Use the following syntax to determine whether a continent is supported for geolocation:

 `GET /2013-04-01/geolocation?continentcode=two-letter abbreviation for a continent ` 

Use the following syntax to determine whether a country is supported for geolocation:

 `GET /2013-04-01/geolocation?countrycode=two-character country code ` 

Use the following syntax to determine whether a subdivision of a country is supported for geolocation:

 `GET /2013-04-01/geolocation?countrycode=two-character country code&subdivisioncode=subdivision code ` 

## Request Syntax


```
GET /2013-04-01/geolocation?continentcode=ContinentCode&countrycode=CountryCode&subdivisioncode=SubdivisionCode HTTP/1.1
