## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 23/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 8, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 2374, "days_push": 1255, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_license
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A JSON API service serving global COVID-19 data sourced from Johns Hopkins University CSSE, built with TypeScript for the ZEIT Now (Vercel) serverless platform. It exposes endpoints for global and per-country summaries, daily updates, and generated OpenGraph summary images.

## Use cases
- get global covid-19 case counts as json
- fetch daily covid-19 case data by date
- get covid-19 statistics for a specific country
- build a covid-19 dashboard or visualization
- send daily covid-19 updates to a telegram bot
- generate shareable opengraph images of case summaries

## When to choose
- you need a simple JSON API for historical COVID-19 data from JHU CSSE
- you want to fork and self-host a ready-made serverless COVID data API
- you need per-country and per-day case breakdowns for dashboards or bots

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained or up-to-date COVID-19 data - the official deployment is no longer maintained
- you need real-time or non-COVID epidemiological data
- you need a general-purpose health data API beyond COVID-19
