Covid-19 Live Data

About Covid-19 Live Data

Covid-19-api is a JSON API serving global COVID-19 case data sourced from Johns Hopkins University CSSE. It exposes routes for global and per-country summaries, confirmed cases, recoveries, and deaths, as well as daily updates and a list of countries with their ISO codes. Some routes also generate Open Graph share images for global or country-specific summaries.

The project is built for deployment on the ZEIT Now platform and is set up for cloning and local development via that platform's tooling. The README notes that the official deployment is no longer maintained and instructs users to fork the repository for their own use.

It is intended for developers building applications, dashboards, bots, or visualizations that need programmatic access to COVID-19 statistics, and the repository lists numerous third-party projects (web dashboards, mobile apps, browser extensions, Telegram bots) built on top of the API across platforms including React, Vue, Angular, Flutter, and Android.
