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:

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. Apolegies for any inconvenience. Hopefully we'll be able to find an alternative data-source that offers this.

Available data-sources:

Currently 2 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.

jhu data-source will be used as a default source if you don't specify a source parameter in your request.

C#

Prerequisites

You will need the following things properly installed on your computer.

Python 3 (with pip)
pipenv

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ExpDev07/coronavirus-tracker-api.git
cd coronavirus-tracker-api

Make sure you have python3.8 installed and on your PATH.
Install the pipenv dependency manager
- with pipx $ pipx install pipenv
- with Homebrew/Linuxbrew $ brew install pipenv
- with pip/pip3 directly $ pip install --user pipenv
Create virtual environment and install all dependencies $ pipenv sync --dev
Activate/enter the virtual environment $ pipenv shell

And don't despair if don't get the python setup working on the first try. No one did. Guido got pretty close... once. But that's another story. Good luck.
