disease.sh is a free, open-source REST API serving JSON statistics on COVID-19, Influenza, and other disease outbreaks, aggregating data from multiple sources with automated updates. It is built in JavaScript (Node.js) with Redis caching and can be self-hosted via Docker or used through the hosted service.

Use cases

• get current covid-19 case counts by country
• fetch historical covid-19 time series data
• query us state and county covid statistics
• get global influenza outbreak data
• retrieve covid-19 vaccine coverage statistics
• build a dashboard or widget showing pandemic stats
• self-host a disease statistics API

When to choose

• you need free, no-auth JSON data on COVID-19 or influenza statistics
• you want multi-source, automatically updated outbreak data
• you need historical time series or vaccine data in one API
• you want to self-host the API with Docker and Redis

When to avoid

• you need real-time or officially certified medical data for clinical use
• you need diseases beyond the supported outbreaks like COVID-19 and Influenza
• you require guaranteed SLAs or enterprise support
