covid-19-tracker-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.
