<![CDATA[Retrieve visitor country code?]]>Is it possible to get the visitors country from the back-end?

I know it's available from CloudFront-Viewer-Country and can be passed to the Lambda.

Wanted to detect the country so I can apply the correct language automatically.

Yes language is automatically detected and a cookie "lng" is set. Then it depends on your page translations from the page builder.

@Wassim Maybe that is already done?

Google seem to be very picky about localization:

Maybe I'll get a flash of inspiration if I know more about what you're trying to do ๐Ÿ™‚

Glad you wrote that!

I looked for it using the "Try" feature, but that doesn't return the CloudFront headers. I would have missed it for sure.

Problem is, this will eat up the back-end quota instantly because every visitor would need to execute it...

event["HEADERS"]["CloudFront-Viewer-Country"]

Hope this helps!

Yeah, I can use a GeoIP lookup service since the IP is in the headers.

Just thought I'd avoid the extra cost since it's already available in AWS.

If not, the best thing to do would probably do a Geo IP lookup, you can indeed get the IP from the backend. I don't think browser headers send country code, they barely send timezone info ๐Ÿ˜‰

I think I have code for extracting the IP address if you need it, but if you print all the headers from the request you should see how to access it.

Cheers @ThomasD
