Overview

The Dataflow Kit COVID-19 API aggregates live COVID-19 statistics from multiple official websites and updates the data every hour, providing a unified JSON feed for global and country-level case counts. No API key is required for basic access, making it quick to integrate. It is useful for developers who need fresher data than daily-updated government datasets.

Beginner Tip

Because data is scraped from external sites hourly, occasional inconsistencies or gaps may appear during website updates; always validate the last_updated field before displaying data to users.

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.

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.

Implementation Example

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

Request

const url = "https://covid-19.dataflowkit.com/v1";

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.

Inconsistent country names Data is scraped from different websites that may format country names differently.

✓ Normalize country names on your side using a lookup table mapping common name variants to ISO codes.

Stale data despite hourly updates If a source website changes its HTML structure, the scraper may temporarily fail and serve cached data.

✓ Monitor the last_updated timestamp and alert if data is more than 3 hours old.

CORS blocked in browser The API may not include CORS headers allowing all origins.

✓ Fetch data from your own backend/serverless function and forward it to the frontend.

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.
