# country\_spec

From **Stripe API**.

Stripe needs to collect certain pieces of information about each account
created. These requirements can differ depending on the account's country. The
Country Specs API makes these rules available to your integration.

You can also view the information from this API call as [an online
guide](/docs/connect/required-verification-information).
