[API-users] ISO country code

[Markus Döring]

Thanks Dave,
we intend to use 2 letter ISO codes for countries and languages everywhere now, so this is expected behaviour. 
If you ever discover URLs that work with the full name please let us know!

cheers,
Markus


PS: the API is very close to the final envisioned version 1 now, a matter of weeks hopefully!
