Which countries and territories does the UK Foreign Office publish travel advice for, and what is the slug for each? Lists every FCDO travel advice destination with its GOV.UK slug and the alternative names GOV.UK maps to it (for example Dubai to United Arab Emirates, Tenerife to Spain), so other travel advice tools can be called with the right slug. Optional search narrows the list. Live from the GOV.UK Content API; it returns names only, not the advice itself. (cost: 1 credit)
string, optional, filter by country name, slug or alternative name such as a city or island (case-insensitive); default lists all

}Is it safe to travel to a country, according to the UK Foreign Office? Returns the FCDO headline for one country: whether it advises against all or all-but-essential travel (to the whole country or to parts), the latest change and when it was made, recent change history and the sections available. Live from the GOV.UK Content API. Advice is written for British nationals; it does not give other governments' advice and does not replace reading the full warnings before booking. (cost: 1 credit)
| Argument | Type | Description |

| country | string | string, required, country name, alternative name (city, island) or GOV.UK slug, e.g. "ukraine", "united-arab-emirates" (travel_advice_countries lists slugs) |

}Do I need a visa, and how long must my passport be valid? Returns the FCDO 'Entry requirements' section for one country as headed plain-text subsections: passport validity, visas and length of stay, dual nationals, vaccine certificates and customs rules. Live from the GOV.UK Content API. Written for travellers on a full British citizen passport; other nationalities must check with the destination's embassy, and the destination's own authorities set and enforce the rules.

}Is there a terror threat, how bad is crime, and which local laws catch visitors out? Returns the FCDO 'Safety and security' section for one country as headed plain-text subsections: terrorism, protests, crime and scams, laws and cultural differences, outdoor activities and transport risks.
