Coronavirus Tracker API
Provides up-to-date data about Coronavirus outbreak. Includes numbers about confirmed cases, deaths and recovered. Support multiple data-sources.
Live global stats (provided by fight-covid19/bagdes) from this API:
New York Times is now available as a source!
Specify source parameter with ?source=nyt. NYT also provides a timeseries! To view timelines of cases by US counties use ?source=nyt&timelines=true
Recovered cases showing 0
JHU (our main data provider) no longer provides data for amount of recoveries, and as a result, the API will be showing 0 for this statistic. Apologies for any inconvenience. Hopefully we'll be able to find an alternative data-source that offers this.
Available data-sources:
Currently 3 different data-sources are available to retrieve the data:
-
jhu - https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19 - Worldwide Data repository operated by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE).
-
csbs - https://www.csbs.org/information-covid-19-coronavirus - U.S. County data that comes from the Conference of State Bank Supervisors.
-
nyt - https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data - The New York Times is releasing a series of data files with cumulative counts of coronavirus cases in the United States. This API provides the timeseries at the US county level.
jhu data-source will be used as a default source if you don't specify a source parameter in your request.
