This API is best for tracking up-to-date United States case and death data related to COVID-19.

This API is helpful to developers looking to access the most current and accurate COVID-19 case and death data within the US. It provides a wide variety of data fields in JSON or CSV formats so it is more unlikely that users would need to write their own code for much of the data. Developers can also access the entire database instead of making a custom query for the data needed.

Key features

• Database with current COVID-19 information for every US state and territory
• daily-updated with 2 days' delay
• custom query or entire dataset
• and flexible data formats served in either Json or CSV.

Potential use cases

• COVID-19 Heat Map: Create a heatmap-style visualization of the most up-to-date case and death data from the API using D3.js. This can be done for the US, or for individual states for more detailed information.
• Case Comparison By State: Build a React web app that connects to the API and shows a graphical comparison of the amount of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in two or more US states.
• COVID-19 Alerts: Leverage the API to create an email alert system for individuals in each US state. Allow them to sign up and receive notifications whenever their state records a new, higher infection rate.
