This API is best for providing insight into government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic around the world.

Developers should use this API because it allows them to analyse and understand the responses that countries around the world have to the COVID-19 pandemic in more depth. The API contains data on the policy decisions made, how countries’ trajectories change with different interventions, and how this changes overtime – accessible, visualised and interactively compared across countries. Using this API developers are able to build insights, data visualizations, maps, and other products that document government responses to the pandemic.
