Open Source Helps!

Thanks for your work to help the people in need! Your site has been added! I currently maintain the OpenSourceWuhan page, which collects all open source projects related to COVID-19, including maps, data, news, api, analysis, medical and supply information, etc. Please share to anyone who might need the information in the list, or will possibly contribute to some of those projects. You are also welcome to recommend more projects.

Last 24 hours?

Is it possible to get just the new confirmed cases in the last 24 hours?

A 404 Error

Hi- thank you so much for this! (Context I'm very much a beginner at this, but I thought I'd give it a go)

And I seemed to have followed all the instructions and have gotten everything set up. But since it's my first time I must have made some sort of error because I keep getting a 404.

Here is the exact error "GET / HTTP/1.1" 404 -

Would really appreciate it if you could help! Thanks (:

Add testcases for baseline testing app

Let's add some testcases for unittesting of help function, like date.is_date and integration testcases for api endpoints, like /deaths.

I will try to provide a testsuite for testing of baseline to avoid breaking changes.

Next step could be to setup a Travis CI chain for auto-checking of every PR.
Let me know, if I can help.

Problem with the api

We are currently using this api for an app to track coronavirus, the issue is that the api returns 0 and empty arrays, we want to know if it is something wrong with the server or your updating the directories.

Server error

It seem server is down https://coronavirus-tracker-api.herokuapp.com/all 500 internal error

Keep API and format stable and consider adding Time Updated

First off, thanks for creating this API! It's very useful.

As I believe many people are now using this, I hope you keep the API and format stable, i.e. no breaking changes, such as changing the format of the dates, etc.

If you do see a need to make a breaking change, please consider adding separate endpoint URIs, such as with a version in the path or something.

Also, as a non-breaking change, is it possible to add a a top-level field to note the time the data was updated / processed in ISO format? Perhaps like this:

{
"confirmed": ...
"deaths": ...
"latest": ...
"recovered": ...
"source": ...
"updated": "2020-03-06T10:38:20.577Z"
}

Thanks again!

Incorrect US Data

Seems like this is likely on Johns Hopkins side but I'm seeing inconsistencies in day-to-day data for the U.S. It looks like maybe they've decided to aggregate by state now in addition to by county and some of the original county data was left in. For example, "Washington" had 0 cases on 3/9/2020 but has 267 listed on 3/10/2020. However, there is still data from counties within Washington being counted. That leads to double counting in some scenarios -- the 3/10/2020 count of confirmed cases in the US comes out to 1,670 using these new numbers which is off by quite a bit.

Doubt there's anything you can do here but thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Attaching a sheet I made that shows the largest discrepancies.

Thanks for the API! I'm currently using it for my twitterbot https://github.com/Abdirahiim/covid19trackerbot

Adding country codes

Would you be interested in adding ISO_3166-1 alpha-2 or alpha-3 country codes? E.g. extending:

"coordinates" : "{...}"
"country"  "Mainland China"
"history" : "{...}"
"latest" : 990
"province" : "Anhui"

by

"alpha-2 code" : "CN" 
"alpha-3 code" : "CHN" 

My telegram bot https://t.me/corona_cases_bot needs it, and I consider what is better - implemented in mine or your project?

Update interval

Hi there,

I have just one quick question. How often does the API update? Right now its showing 79570 while https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 shows 80421.

possible new problem with Country Codes

I just noticed it this morning: 2020-03-11 14:14

It looks like some of the country_code fields are now set to "XX" . The reason I noticed it now, is that Iran is set to "XX". I'm pretty sure it was correctly set to "IR" yesterday.

I can remap it locally in my code, I just wanted to give you a "heads up".

Thanks again for everything!

Country codes changed

Looks like the country codes changed at some point - Ontario was 148 when I first tested, but now that is Pierce, WI and Ontario is 94.

Format breaking change in 002e1af - Why?

002e1af History now returns a string-int pair and not string-string

And I had the impression you understand that format breaking changes must be avoided!!! Oh how silly was I!
😠

date format in history

Thank you for your software and service.

May I suggest to use the ISO 8601 date format (yyyy-mm-dd) in the key string of history. While parsing the current format not a big deal using the the ISO standard has some benefits. I am sure your current and potential users are from all over the word. Using the ISO format the interpretation of the response of your service would be easier for everyone.

During conversion into the ISO format you might be able to do some error checking since as the country names show your data source is far form stable for obvious reasons.

Yes, I am aware of the complain about the recent change in history. Despite of that I still suggest the ISO date format while you are at the cleaning up the history array.

No module named "flask_cors" found

When I was trying to run it locally, this error came, I did all the previous steps successfully.

Can't get any data from /countries

Tried hitting this route, couldn't get any data.

Hi! Thanks for your API.
Im using to build a Ionic app.

Repo: https://github.com/luizhfraraujo/ionic-coronavirus-tracker

Getting results by country

I'm trying to use the API on an embedded device without enough RAM to hold the entire result and filter it. Is it possible to add an option to only get stats for a specific country or other filtering options?

Can you set up Gzip Compression on the request?

It would be nice to have Gzip compression on the request if possible

API not updating

I spent some time to build a visualization with your API. However for today it still shows 0 increase in Italy and in other countries. Are you guys aware of any issue?

Can the API return a fatten list of data?

I am using the this API, and it's great! Thank again.
However is it possible to have another endpoint of all combined Confirmed, Recovered and Deaths in a single object sort by country, it seem that JSON we got now is getting a bit big now, and country , coordinates, province, info are duplicated, a combined data may save a bit of download time. For example a endpoint like: /all_fattened

{
locations
--coordinates
--country
--province
--confirmed
----latest
----history
--deaths
----latest
----history
--recovered
----latest
----history
}

thanks!!

Incorrect country_codes

I have noticed, that two digit country codes (country_code) for some countries are not correct, api is returning XX instead of actual country code. Example countries Iran, South Korea etc.

add county data source for (US only)

https://sfc-project-files.s3.amazonaws.com/project-feeds/covid19_us_cases_us.json

Latest confirmed, deaths, and recoveries are all 0

Using your API in KNIME Analytics Platform (open source)

Hello again,
this is a workflow I created using KNIME.
https://kni.me/w/SjvvBM2fXG3APLP-
I linked this GitHub repo in the KNIME Hub page.
Feel free to download the workflow and open it in the free desktop tool KNIME Analytics Platform (https://www.knime.com/downloads/download-knime) to see the visualization.
Cheers
Paolo

just a simple question why do I need to install it on my computer ?

cant I just use the links:
https://coronavirus-tracker-api.herokuapp.com/ all/confirmed/etc' ?
like some kind of web service ?

why In the read me there is the installation part ?

History won't update

History is still on march 9th even though today is march 13th.

Integrity checks

The JHU CSSE screw it up again so I guess we need to implement some integrity check against broken input.

China source is fetching empty data

From morning today, all provinces from China is showing 0 records. Please fix it if there's a problem regarding the data.

Thank you for this API!

It's really nice API and hopefully you can find a more up-to-date sources better than the current one, thanks @ExpDev07 ❤️

duplicate entries

china, us, and others have a couple dozen of multiple entries.

Gender & Age info

Would be good if the data has Gender & Age information

Store data in DB

Hi

I would like to store this data in e.g influxdb , but i can't figure out how.

Why? Because i would like to draw some graphs with Grafana.
I understand that i can use this https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/simpod-json-datasource to query that heroku url but it would be nice to store data i think :)

data for us is missing a lot from the other day

A few days ago there were cases in santa clara, santa cruz counties and now they show zero.

Values for March 12 are duplicates of March 11 for certain countries

I haven't gone through all of the data yet, but I can confirm that for Italy: The values for March 12 are the same as March 11, for all three metrics: confirmed, deaths, recovered.

For Spain, the same is true for confirmed and recovered, but for deaths the value on March 12th is 55, which is one more than March 11th (54), but 55 is incorrect for March 12th, the correct value should be somewhere around 84.

I assume this is due to more changes from the JHU team. But the weird value for Spanish deaths (55 vs 84) is harder to explain. Perhaps the JHU data has some manually entered data and it was just an entry error?

Anyway, thanks again for all the work you have done on this tracker!

Querying locations for a specific province takes time

I'll make a PR, but when you query for a province in locations, its a large array, so it would be easier to return a object with province and if null then country

Using your api for a simple visualization

Hi,

I am used your api to create a simple visualization here

Where to get the Serious or Critical count?

For example, in https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/, they have the mile case count and serious/critical count. It's unclear where is it from. Can that data be added to the JSON object? Thanks.

"3/13/2020" data is empty

Change in data source

There's been a change in the data source folder naming. Because of that the latest updated date in history is 3/9/20.

Use ISO 8601 for formatting dates in API calls

I’ve noticed that you use the American date time format MM/DD/YY for the dates returned in the API calls despite you using iso formatted dates in parts of your source code. Could we make this API a lot more robust and stick to a sensible date time format such as ISO 8601, to avoid guess work.

FYI I am using your API

Thanks a bunch!

Add synonym for countrycode DE

The countrycode DE represents the countryname Germany.
A synonym for countryname Germany is Deutschland (german term)

Long in location

The long variable cant be used in java as an identifier because its a keyword. Please change it to lng.

latest for U.S. counties showing 0

Is this still working? It seems all provinces/counties in California are all showing 0 for the value of "latest"

Date sorting

Hey, want to check if 2/11/20 and 2/12/20 appearing before 2/2/20 is intended
