This project analyzes the patients data obtained from the APIs built by Covid19India (https://api.covid19india.org/) using Kafka topics and generates alerts. These alerts are picked up by Telegram Bot app which sends these alerts to anyone subscribed.
The Telegram Bot is available at https://t.me/covid19_india_alerts_bot

Below is an example of an alert sent by the bot:
The folks at Covid19India (https://www.covid19india.org/) are doing an amazing job of continuously updating the patient information using official and unofficial (social media etc.) sources. The bot tries to capture these updates and sends alerts that links to previous alert sent for the same patient (if any). This helps you see the progress a patient makes (like recovered or deceased). Alerts are only sent if the update is significant. Currently this means either changes in status or notes.
Not interested in updates of all Indian states? Then you can use the command /mystate to set your
preferred state. Once set, you will receive updates of that state only including cumulative totals
across India. You will continue to receive summary updates every 4 hours.
If you have set preferred state and would like to start receiving updates for every state, then
send the command /clearmystate to clear your preferred state.
At any time, you want to check what preferred state is set if any, then send the command /getmystate.
Get real-time updates of all Indian States
Stop receiving updates.
To get the current statistics of any Indian State or Total, send the command /stats.
The bot will reply with an option to choose a region:
You can select any region or choose Total to get cumulative sum of all Indian states. If you choose
a region, next screen will pop-up asking to choose a state within the region.
You should get back the cumulative statistics of the chosen state at that point of time.
