Overview

The Covid-19 India API provides detailed statistics on COVID-19 cases, recoveries, deaths, and vaccinations broken down by Indian state and district. Data was sourced from official government reports and volunteer-collected datasets. It is a useful reference for data journalism, academic research, or building India-specific public health visualizations.

💡

Beginner Tip

This API is maintained by volunteers and the data collection has largely stopped as the pandemic wound down; treat it as a historical archive rather than a live data source.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

404 Not Found on some endpoints The project has been archived and some endpoint paths have been removed or renamed.
✓ Check the official GitHub repository (https://github.com/covid19india/api) for the current list of available JSON file URLs.
CORS errors in browser Certain data files may not include CORS headers allowing cross-origin requests.
✓ Fetch the data server-side (Node.js, Python, etc.) and serve it to your frontend, or use a CORS proxy during development.
Unexpected data gaps Some states or districts have incomplete reporting for certain date ranges.
✓ Add null/undefined checks when iterating over district-level data, as not all keys will be present for every entry.
