This API is designed to serve up to date information on confirmed cases and deaths across the United States at a country, state, and county level.
- โก FastAPI - a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints.
- ๐ฐ Redis - in-memory data structure store/cache.
- ๐พ Swagger - open source documentation tools.
Since coronavirus-us-api is powered by FastAPI, the API specification strictly follows the OpenAPI standard. The JSON file for this API can be found here.
The API documentation comes in three flavors:
- Swagger - standard way to test out the endpoints.
- Redoc - mobile friendly documentation.
- RapidAPI - documentation and testing managed by RapidAPI.
The data used by the API comes from two sources:
Before getting started, let's go over some of the common types you will see in the remainder of the documentation:

}Below are some of the dependencies you will need:
Then, clone the repository and create a Pipenv environment.
$ git clone [email protected]:Spiderpig86/coronavirus-us-api.git
$ cd ./coronavirus-us-apiInstall Pipenv and set up your virtual environment with the needed dependencies.
$ pip install --user pipenv
$ pipenv sync --dev
$ pipenv shellNow that this is all setup, you can run the commands to run, test, and format the project. The project will start at localhost:8000 by default (configurable in backend/core/config/config.yml):
Debugging/Live Reloading
$ pipenv run devRunning
$ pipenv run startFormatting
$ invoke blackSort Imports
$ invoke sortLinting
$ invoke checkUnit Testing
$ invoke testEnd to End Tests
$ invoke e2eGenerate Test Coverage
$ invoke coverageSetting up Docker is quite straight forward -- unless you are using Windows 10 Home (more on this later).
Run these commands.
docker-compose build
docker-compose upIf you are using a non-supported OS for Docker, you would need to use Docker Toolkit. Once you have it set up, if you are not able to access the container itself, allow port 8080 in your VM. Reference
Let me know if you are using the API! It means a great deal.
