Covid-19 Live Data API
Overview
The Covid-19 Live Data API provides global and country-level COVID-19 statistics including confirmed cases, deaths, and recoveries, sourced from Johns Hopkins University CSSE data. It wraps the raw data into a clean REST API with JSON responses and requires no authentication. It is a beginner-friendly choice for building dashboards or data projects.
Beginner Tip
Use the /countries endpoint to get the full list of supported country slugs before querying individual country stats to avoid 404 errors from typos.
