In the course of the hackathon "https://wirvsvirushackathon.org/ " we are implementing a RESTful Webservice which scrapes data from various places. We have developed a landing page to make it easier for many interested people to implement a scraper or/and use our API

@ExpDev07 Maybe we can join forces?

@ExpDev07

Sorry for the late answer.

Maybe you can use our API as a new option for selecting a data source :-).

Our data source is this project: https://github.com/lazd/coronadatascraper/.

The guys there do a great job writing scrapers for all the different sources and combining them in their own CLI tool. We're trying to create a reliable API that you can use to filter and query the data.

We can adapt our API to make it easier for you to use. We are trying to become a kind of gateway API.

Your API is very fast and your caching works pretty well.

We are more focused on getting all the data and offer endpoints where you can use many queries.

We are also trying to create a landing page to make it easier to understand how to provide and use the data. We would mention your API there :-)
