If for whatever reasons you are not happy with the COVID-19 data you find at

  • JHU - github COVID-19
  • ECDC - ecdc.europa.eu covid-19
  • RKI - German Robert Koch Institut Fallzahlen.html
  • openZH - github covid_19 (Swiss source) Or you would like to compile your own user interface for that data, you may consider the web services that I uploaded to micro-work/covid.

    • Web Services Catalog

    In case you want to reinvent the wheel - this are the URL / Endpoints - that your web services client, could consume.
    It is available, until it won't work anymore or until the web hoster / git hub pulls the plug.

    You can choose between these web services or ask for a customized service.:

    Welcome to Swagger

    I started with refactoring and compiling a Swagger. It will become available in json and yaml notation.
    Master data provider YHU is the first in scope.

    Welcome to Web Services Clients/Consumer

    Though web browser are not my primary target audience.

    There are now 4 browser based html/js clients around to consume mwnet hosted covid 19 web services.

  • 🔗 ecdcweb in JavaScript/YUI Reveals link to todays Ecdc Excel File
  • 🔗 rkijson2 in JavaScript/jQuery Outputs covid numbers for Germany split into Länder
  • 🔗 openZH in JavaScript/REACT Reveals numbers for a Swiss Kanton based on a selection list
  • 🔗 openZH in JavaScript/D3JSv5/SVG Map of Switzerland where you can hover over Kantons for getting numbers

    • Welcome to the FAQ

    May I call these Web Services with JavaScript?

    Yes and No, Not yet. This web hoster supports CORS Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.
    For each Web Service I have to enable that - it is working in progress.
    The ecdcweb.php Service is already callable, so is rkijson2.php.

    How about a sample JS Client?

    Bon. I wrote one for ecdcweb in JavaScript/YUI

    And another one for rkijson2 in JavaScript/jQuery

    One more for Switzerland openZH in JavaScript/REACT

    Why in YUI?

    Why not. To showcase that the Internet is not limited to jQuery, React or Angular

    What is the cors policy?

    The goal is: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, Access-Control-Allow-Headers: *, Access-Control-Expose-Headers: *
    Then is should work for most javascript clients
