THIS PROJECT IS BEING REPLACED BY Li

This project is being replaced by Li, the next-generation serverless crawler for COVID-19 data.

The reasons for the switchover are documented in Issue 782.

We are not actively accepting PRs for this repository, but are still using this repo to track issues.

Scraper code written for this project is not compatible with Li, see that project for examples. We have some helpers to assist in migrating code, see this document.

Thanks very much!

coronadatascraper

A crawler that scrapes COVID-19 Coronavirus data from government and curated data sources.

This project exists to scrape, de-duplicate, and cross-check county-level data on the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Every piece of data includes GeoJSON and population data, cites the source from which the data was obtained, and includes a rating of the source's technical quality (completeness, machine readability, best practices -- not accuracy).

Where's the data?

https://coronadatascraper.com/

How often is it updated?

We upload fresh data every day at around 9PM PST.

How do I use this data?

Read the Data Fields documentation for details on exactly what each field in the dataset means.
