Hello,

Thank you for maintaining this repository, I've created an API for based on your data with automated refresh that I wrote on Python and deployed on Heroku, it's fast, reliable and automatically updated and have also historical data.

I added you to my web-services.sh script. Welcome on board.

It's not updated.

It's not updated.

It's fully automated now, I added a scheduler inside the Flask App that update data every 10 minutes! Hope you'll like it 😁

Thank you @Omaroid !
Been playing with this.
Here is a repo with Jupyter Notebooks that uses your API.
Added you in the acknowledgement section :) are there other developers working on it? I could only see you as contributor, but wanted to double check.

[Omaroid]

Glad to know that you are using my API! For your question, I'm the only one contributor haha!

Hi @Omaroid ! Thanks for the API. Is it possible it's stopped updating in the last few days?

Hello @nicfillion , glad to hear that! I'm not sure the API don't return the latest data? For which type of cases or dates did you find an issue? You could also consult the /updatedAt route to see the UTC last update time.

Thanks for replying @Omaroid ! I'm fairly new to all this, and I was just writing an easy Python script to convert this in pandas, and then it occurred to me the last few days aren't there. I checked straight from the link: https://covid19api.herokuapp.com/confirmed
Say, if you check , the last time index is "4/9/20" (e.g., for France, Canada, US, etc). Am I missing something obvious? (I hope I'm not making you waste time on something I've done stupidly...)

Hello @nicfillion! No worries I'm glad to answer your questions! In the history sub-json document, the dates aren't ordered. Also the dates are in a format of MM/DD/YY following the english dates notation system so you could find the latest dates until now "4/15/20". If you have any questions, don't hesitate. I'll add in the next few days some details about the fields format, type and description to ensure everyone can understand the data! Sorry for not specifying that and thanks again for using my API! 😄

@Omaroid Thanks so much for the explanation! It all makes sense. Now that you point it out, I should've thought about it. I think I was deceived by the fact that the last few entries are ordered. And indeed, the totals are just right, so I'll reorder it as needed. Merci beaucoup pour le coup de main! :)

Tout le plaisir est pour moi, merci @nicfillion 😄
