Critical cases

Open danman12345 opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

  1. Other api's do have critical cases, but this api not. Any alternative source?

  2. Why no filter on contents? ASia, africa etc

  3. Also many countries. Togo for example does not have any data. Why is his? Is it because there are no reported cases in Tonga, Tuvalu, Tajikistan etc ?

Hi @danman12345

  1. I've seen a few API's showing critical count but there hasn't been any evidence of it being reliable. We are currently with Johns Hopkins data as this is the most accurate one which I could find.

    If you have any data source in mind let me know, I'll be glad to test it out and also possibly integrate

  2. That's a very good suggestion. We are working on v2 of the APIs with a few more endpoints and plan to get it out by coming Tuesday. Will surely have this in it

  3. Yes, if a country does not feature in the list then there are no records of it. Just to be sure, I checked for Tajikistan and here is a link which confirms the same

Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks , But lots of countries do have data, while they have cases.

  • one is PRI (puerto rico). Here are more ISO -3 codes that are not reachable with the url : https://covidapi.info/api/v1/country/***/timeseries/2020-01-22/2020-04-10

Here a list of ISO 3 codes that have cases, but where the URL can not be reached.

I do not know any data source that I can get the critical cases, but i have seen it for example here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
