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.

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

1. Make sure you have python3.8 installed and on your PATH.
2. Install the pipenv dependency manager
   • with pipx $ pipx install pipenv
   • with Homebrew/Linuxbrew $ brew install pipenv
   • with pip/pip3 directly $ pip install --user pipenv
3. Create virtual environment and install all dependencies $ pipenv sync --dev
4. 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.

Running / Development

For a live reloading on code changes.

• pipenv run dev

Without live reloading.

• pipenv run start

Visit your app at http://localhost:8000.

Alternatively run our API with Docker.

Running Tests

pytest

pipenv run test

Linting

pylint

pipenv run lint

Formatting

black

pipenv run fmt

Update requirements files

invoke generate-reqs

Pipfile.lock will be automatically updated during pipenv install.

Docker

Our Docker image is based on tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi/.

invoke docker --build

Run with docker run or docker-compose

Alternate Docker images

If a full gunicorn deployment is unnecessary or impractical on your hardware consider using our single instance Uvicorn based Dockerfile.

Invoke

Additional developer commands can be run by calling them with the python invoke task runner.
