Overview

The COVID-19 Tracker Canada API provides detailed, province-level COVID-19 data for Canada including confirmed cases, deaths, hospitalizations, ICU counts, and vaccination figures. It is a well-documented REST API returning JSON and does not require an API key. Ideal for developers building Canadian public health dashboards or educational tools.

Beginner Tip

Use the /summary endpoint for a quick national snapshot, then drill into /reports?province=ON (replace ON with a province code) for province-specific data.

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.

track name and artist

album metadata

audio preview URLs

popularity score

genre classification

case counts and statistics

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.

Request

const url = "https://api.covid19tracker.ca/summary";

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.

Unknown province code Province abbreviations must follow Canadian standards (e.g., ON, BC, AB), not full names.

✓ Call /provinces first to get the complete list of valid province slugs and their codes.

Empty results for date range Querying dates before data collection began returns empty arrays.

✓ Start date queries from 2020-01-25, the earliest date in the dataset.

Rate limit or slow response High-traffic periods can slow the community-hosted server.

✓ Cache responses on your server for at least 1 hour since data is updated once daily anyway.

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.
