## What it is
A fast REST API built with Python and FastAPI that provides up-to-date global COVID-19 statistics including confirmed cases, deaths, and recoveries. It aggregates data from multiple sources such as JHU and the New York Times, with support for timelines and country-level breakdowns.

## Use cases
- get current covid-19 case counts by country
- track coronavirus deaths and recoveries worldwide
- fetch covid timeseries data for us counties
- build a dashboard showing live pandemic statistics
- query covid data from multiple sources via one api
- self-host a coronavirus tracking api

## When to choose
- you need a simple REST endpoint for COVID-19 statistics
- you want to aggregate data from multiple providers like JHU and NYT
- you need fast responses under 200ms for a web app or dashboard
- you want to self-host the API on Heroku or your own server

## When to avoid
- you need real-time or guaranteed-accurate health data for critical decisions
- you require recovery statistics, since JHU no longer provides them
- you need actively maintained software - the project sees infrequent updates
- your use case is not related to COVID-19 outbreak data

## Facets
- artifact type: service
