Add scraper for MEX #536
Comments
Hey @shaperilio I came across this resource as well that might be worth looking at. Unfortunately I don't know exactly how to verify whether this is the same or different data:: |
@NateBaldwinDesign I saw that too - It looks to be the equivalent of our own data.gov. I tried a few covid related search terms and didn't find anything. |
@shaperilio and @NateBaldwinDesign detailed data for Mexico are now available as .csv files at the state and municipality level. Please see: https://github.com/covidatlas/coronadatascraper/issues/1024 |
Closing in favor of #489. |

Notes/comments
This is more of a bookmark than anything else - just caching this will be difficult as it seems to be nested more deeply than Argentina.
At the bottom of the site there are some videos / links in some sort of auto-scrolling frame. Each day it appears they have a press conference, and it seems each one gets a page: e.g. April 4. URLs for those appear easy to generate:
https://coronavirus.gob.mx/YYYY/MM/DD/conferencia-D-de-mmm/
where
mmm
is the full month name in Spanish, all lower case.For example, I spot checked March 4th and it exists:
https://coronavirus.gob.mx/2020/03/04/conferencia-4-de-marzo/
Each of the press conference pages links to a PDF with a link whose text is "Comunicado técnico". URLs for those PDFs seem pretty consistent except for one number I can't decipher. e.g.
https://www.gob.mx/cms/uploads/attachment/file/538947/Comunicado_Tecnico_Diario_COVID-19_2020.03.04.pdf
https://www.gob.mx/cms/uploads/attachment/file/545219/Comunicado_Tecnico_Diario_COVID-19_2020.04.03.pdf
https://www.gob.mx/cms/uploads/attachment/file/545266/Comunicado_Tecnico_Diario_COVID-19_2020.04.04.pdf
Content of the PDF apparently can change. I can't imagine doing anything but manual data entry on this one. Currently our source for Mexico is
https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19
but at least the more recent PDFs here have death counts per state (but not case counts).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
