COVID-19 API

Ultra simple REST API for apps which neeeds COVID-19. Code is in very early stage, so feel free to open issues or create pull requests. Available here: https://covid-19-data.herokuapp.com/

Country codes

API uses ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 to identify countries. However, there are some items without ISO code. You can access them by using following codes:

Item	Code
Diamond Princess	"XDP"
Channel Islands	"XCI"
Kosovo	"XKX"
MS Zaandam	"XZM"

Version 1.1.0 changes

Before update Diamond Princess and Channel Islands was identified as DP and CI. Update 1.1.0 uses Alpha-3 user-assigned codes, as pointed in Issue #1. However, due to compatibility reasons, DP and CI code will work correctly, so there is no need to change code based on this API.

Endpoints

All paths starts with /api .
