Is there an API for fetching list of countries according iso 3166-1?

Question

Is it possible to fetch a list of countries according to ISO 3166-1 ? I have found this package (Countries), however I am not sure whether it is reliable source or not. How do you handle it ?

Also, there is a list of available countries in PDF, see here (unctad)

I am curious whether there is a free API for this purpose, or I need to manually create a JSON for my react app.
