Corona virus tracking API in Brazil
This API is part of the information tracking project on COVID-19 in Brazil. It is used by a webapp to track national data:
The project currently has two data sources:
- https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ - Where the API fetches global and national data
- https://github.com/wcota/covid19br - Where the API fetches state and municipal data
The second data source is temporary, given that the Ministry of Health platform, IVIS, is down and should return coming soon.
- Create a copy of the
.env.sample
file and rename it to.env
- Change the
PORT
value for the port you want to run the application on
Open the terminal in the project folder and run the command below:
yarn dev # ou npm run dev

- Leonardo Habitzreuter - Contributed to the development of the API
- Rebecca Gonzalez - Developed the entire web application design
