Overview

The Covid-19 Datenhub is a German ArcGIS-based platform that provides maps, datasets, and applications related to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is free to access and does not require authentication for basic data queries. You can use it to retrieve geospatial Covid-19 data for analysis, mapping projects, or research applications.

Beginner Tip

This platform uses the ArcGIS REST API format — to query datasets, append /query?where=1%3D1&outFields=*&f=json to any feature layer URL to retrieve records in JSON format.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

case counts and statistics

vaccination data

geographic breakdown

historical trend data

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

Field Reference

features Array of geographic features, each containing attributes and optional geometry data.

attributes Key-value pairs of data fields for each feature record.

Bundesland German federal state (Bundesland) the record belongs to.

AnzahlFall Number of confirmed Covid-19 cases for the record.

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request

const url = "https://services7.arcgis.com/mOBPykOjAyBO2ZKk/arcgis/rest/services/RKI_COVID19/FeatureServer/0/query?where=1%3D1&outFields=*&f=json&resultRecordCount=5";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

Error parsing response or unexpected HTML You may have requested the base URL without proper ArcGIS REST API parameters.

✓ Always append query parameters like ?where=1=1&f=json to feature layer URLs; the base hub URL returns an HTML page.

exceededTransferLimit in response The query returned more records than the server allows in a single response.

✓ Use the resultOffset and resultRecordCount parameters to paginate through results in smaller batches.

Slow or timeout response Querying all fields across the full dataset without filters is resource-intensive.

✓ Add a where clause to filter by date or region, and specify only needed fields using the outFields parameter.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
