Smartable AI Developer Program

Coronavirus News & Stats API

TL;DR

Our free COVID-19 Stats and New API lets you send a web-based query to Smartable AI and get back details about global and regional coronavirus data, including latest numbers, historic values, and geo-breakdowns. It is the same API that powers our popular COVID-19 stats pages. Developers can take the returned information and display it in their own tools, apps and visualizations. Different from other coronavirus data sources that produce breaking changes from time to time, our API strives to be stable, detailed and close to real-time, by leveraging AI to gather information from many credible sources. With a few clicks in our API try-it experience, developers can get it running quickly and unleash their creativity.

Our Mission

“We’re not just fighting an epidemic; we’re fighting an infodemic” – WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

In Smartable AI, our mission is to use AI to help you be smart in this infodemic world. Information is exploded, and mis-information has impacted the decisions of governments, businesses, and citizens around the world, as well as individuals’ lives. In 2018, The World Economic Forum identified it as one of the top 10 global risks. In a recent study, the economic impact has been estimated to be upwards of 80-100 Billion Dollars. Everything we do is focused on fighting misinformation, curating quality content, putting information in order and leveraging technology to bring clean, organized information through our APIs. Everyone wins when they can make sense of the world around them.

Our Free API

The coronavirus stats and news API offers the latest and historic COVID-19 stats and news information per country or state. The stats are refreshed every hour using credible data sources, including the country/state’s official government websites, data available on wikipedia pages, latest news reports, Johns Hopkins University CSSE 2019-nCoV Dashboard, WHO Situation Reports, CDC Situation Updates, and DXY.cn.

The API takes the location ISO code as input (e.g. US, US-MA), and returns the latest numbers (confirmed, deaths, recovered), the delta from yesterday, the full history in that location, and geo-breakdown when applicable. We offer detailed API documentation, a try-it experience, and code examples in many different programming languages.

We want it to be a collaborative effort. If you have any additional requirements for the API or observe anything wrong with the data, we welcome you to report issues. The team will jump in right away.

Apps powered by the API

• COVID-19 Live Stats+News
• COVID-19 Android app

developer-program's Issues

Query different country

Hi how can we query different country? I tried news/CHINA on postman its empty.

Global news doesn't exist

Hi, I was reading the documentation about the news endpoint. It doesn't support global as a location as mentioned in the documentation. Even in the try out section, its not available as an option. If I am right then for now I think either it should be removed from the documentation (would be pretty useful to have it though) or it could be added as a collection of one article (maybe based on heat) from every affected country. Added to that it would useful if there could be support for sort parameter based on at least the heat field.

IMAGES IN THE NEWS API IS SAYING NULL

PLEASE FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Endpoints returns 404 error

not able to retrieve subscription key

Python requests

Hello,
I think that the code to request the API using the python code provided by the "try it" example is not working. I am not familiar with requesting API using python, could you fix the python code ?
Thank you

History at County level?

I am charting growth rates and wish to drill-down to the county level. Can you provide a way to fetch history at the county level? I see the breakdowns collection, but no history data at that level.

CORS 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' issue

Hi, I'm currently trying to access the COVID19 API from a web app from local host, and I seem to be getting the CORS 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' error. I saw that there was an issue opened back in March, which is now closed, that reported the same error and it seemed to be a server configuration issue. Has the configuration been changed again? Thanks for your time.

Unable to get location info

I am unable to get location info:
I tried:
http://api.smartable.ai/coronavirus/stats?isoCode=IT etc.
Can anyone please provide the format to GET location info.

Thanks

I CANT SING UP! THE PAGE RELOAD ME N TIMES

CORS block

I am trying to access the COVID-19 from a web app in development using local host. I have tried to use the request configurations for javascript but keep getting blocked by CORS (see below). Do you have a fetch or axios config that would work ? the API looks great and I would like to resolve my issue. Thanks

...has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Canada Recovered?

Hi I was wondering how it is showing the there are 0 recovered in Canada when in fact there are more than 1,000?

No Data for East African Countries

Looking into the CSV data file, I see that there's no data for the East African countries.
I want my project to show the data for these countries too, can you please add the data for them to the API?

The countries are;
Tanzania
Kenya
Uganda
Burundi
Rwanda
South Sudan
=> Can you please add the data for the Congo DRC(the "Kinshasha" one) as well?

Thanks in advance.

ISO code "TZ" for Tanzania gives 404 error

I get 404 error when passing iso code "TZ "(ISO code for Tanzania) on the ../stats endpoint.
Can it be that iso code for Tanzania is different than "TZ" in your API?
This is the case for codes of some other countries codes too, such as Kenya, Uganda, etc.

No cases for today in US and Italy

I haven't seen any new data in the api for "today" when it comes to Italy and US. Other countries are showing data. I checked other API's and they have data for "today" for US and IT
