COVID-correlate-api

About

A simple REST API built using Node.js that combines data from two third-party APIs that prioritizes effiency, simplicity and accuracy for the caller.

Responds with data that can be used to analyze a correlation between indicators such as C02 intensity and risk of infection/risk of death due to Covid-19 to provide inference on issues. Configurable by user for type of indicator they want to use.

Carbon Intensity API (UK)
