Coronavirus vs Coronavirus in the UK
A Pipedream-hosted proxy that returns confirmed-case, recovery, and death counts originally sourced from Johns Hopkins University's CSSE COVID-19 tracker, exposing global, mainland-China, and non-China summary stats plus the raw per-region breakdown as JSON at coronavirus.m.pipedream.net. JHU's underlying spreadsheet feed was retired on 2023-03-09, so the endpoint now serves that final historical snapshot on every request rather than live updates, cached via Pipedream's $checkpoint for 5 minutes. A live GET against the endpoint returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving the stored 'unknown' cors to 'yes'.
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'.
