Overview

The Covid-19 Philippines API provides unofficial COVID-19 data for the Philippines derived from Department of Health (DOH) reports, covering case counts, deaths, recoveries, and regional breakdowns. It is an open-source project requiring no API key and is straightforward to integrate. It is useful for local public health projects focused on Philippine pandemic data.

💡

Because this is an unofficial, community-maintained API, check the GitHub repository for the latest deployment URL and whether the API is still actively hosted before building a production application on top of it.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

API endpoint not reachable Community-hosted servers can go offline if maintainers stop paying for hosting.
✓ Check the project's GitHub issues page for alternative deployment URLs or fork and self-host.
Outdated data Data ingestion relies on volunteers parsing DOH reports which may not happen in real time.
✓ Always display the last_updated timestamp to users so they understand the freshness of the data.
500 Internal Server Error The data source format may have changed and broken the parser.
✓ Report the issue on the GitHub repository and check if a fix is pending; use cached data in the meantime.
