Coronavirus in the UK vs Covid-19 India
The UK Health Security Agency's public data API — successor to the original coronavirus.data.gov.uk service, which now 301-redirects to ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk — serving case, death, hospitalisation, and vaccination figures for COVID-19 alongside other respiratory illnesses like flu and RSV, broken down by UK nation, region, and local authority. No API key is required; the dataset is organised into browsable themes, sub-themes, and topics from the root JSON endpoint, with COVID-19 confirmed live under infectious_disease/respiratory. The stored url is corrected to the current docs entry point since the old one now redirects here. A live GET against api.ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving the stored 'unknown' cors to 'yes'.
A volunteer-run archive of India's COVID-19 statistics — state- and district-level confirmed/recovered/deceased counts and vaccination totals — served as JSON (v4 endpoints) and CSV from data.covid19india.org. The original api.covid19india.org project and its per-request JSON routes were deprecated in August 2021 in favor of these v4/CSV endpoints; the data itself is a static historical snapshot, last modified October 2025 per the response headers, not a live daily feed. A live GET against data.covid19india.org returns no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving the stored 'unknown' cors to 'no'.
