Covid Fetch

A simple package (i.e. a fetcher) for India's COVID-19 data fetched from the Government sources online.

Use this instead of scraping the Government websites from scratch. Collect the data into a usable format (like JSON).

• Data fetched is the same as shown on the MoHFW website.
• Data is provided in a more effective format and can be converted into other formats quickly without any hassle
• Reduce the load on the government facilities c'mon

Usage

Install the package:

$ npm i @yy3301/covid-fetch

To use this:

const cf = require("covid-fetch").default;

cf.cases.getCasesDataState()
.then(stateData => {
    console.log(stateData);
});

Passing the argument true to the function results in getting back a JSON string:

cf.cases.getCasesDataIndia(true)
.then(dataIndia => {
    console.log(dataIndia);
});
