COVID-19 API

Introduction

The COVID-19 API is a web service that provides access to data related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It allows programmers to retrieve up-to-date information about COVID-19 cases and related statistics from various sources worldwide.

Features

1. Global and Country-wise Data: Retrieve COVID-19 statistics for specific countries or globally. This includes total cases, deaths, recoveries, active cases, and more.

2. Timeline Data: Access historical data of COVID-19 cases for a particular country or globally. This provides insights into the progression of the disease over time.

3. Vaccine Data: Obtain information about COVID-19 vaccine distribution, including the number of vaccine doses administered, vaccination rates, and more.

4. Geographical Data: Retrieve COVID-19 data based on geographical regions, such as continents, states, provinces, or cities.

5. Data Visualization: Utilize the API to retrieve data for creating interactive charts, graphs, or maps to visually represent COVID-19 statistics.

Usage

To access the COVID-19 API, you can make HTTP requests to the designated API endpoints. The response will be returned in JSON format, allowing developers to parse and extract the required data.

Here is an example of how to retrieve COVID-19 statistics for a specific country using Python and the requests library:

import requests

country = 'your_country_name'

response = requests.get(f'https://api.covid19api.com/total/dayone/country/{country}')
data = response.json()

# Extract specific data from the response
total_cases = data[-1]['Confirmed']
total_deaths = data[-1]['Deaths']
total_recoveries = data[-1]['Recovered']

print(f"COVID-19 Statistics for {country}:")
print(f"Total Cases: {total_cases}")
print(f"Total Deaths: {total_deaths}")
print(f"Total Recoveries: {total_recoveries}")
