# Get a country field using Admin API

This guide explains how to use the Admin API to return a country field collected during checkout.

## Access scopes

To use the Admin API to access the information collected in the checkout, your app needs to request the `read_order` access scope for a ShopBase store. For more information on requesting access scopes when your app is installed, see [API Access Scopes](https://developers.shopbase.com/build-an-app-tutorial/making-your-first-request/authentication/api-access-scopes)

## Collect a country field on the checkout

For this tutorial, you'll set the address of your shop to Brazil (since Brazilian merchants are required to collect a tax ID for government invoicing) and then complete checkout from your storefront:

1. Set the address of your shop to Brazil. Remember to change your address back when you've completed the tutorial.

2. Complete the checkout.
