COVID Tracker API

A quick and dirty modular API designed to scrape information on COVID-19 status in the US. This is an experimental prototype.

Routing

• api/status/{state-abbr} - Get all data currently available for that state
• api/status/{state-abbr}/{scraper-id} - Get the data for that state for only that sraper
• api/supported-states - A list of currently supported states

Conventions

• Confirmed cases are always labeled as such. Do not use "positive" or "total" or any other key.
• Timestamps are recorded in milliseconds since epoch in order to be more easily parsable by javascripts Date() constructor ex: 1584228637251.
• In cases where there is a single point of data with date but no time, it should be ISO 8601 ex: 2020-03-11.
• All scrapers must return a data object with a confirmed property. Due to nature of data sources containing different data, any other properties are optional and considered non-standard.
