Coronavirus vs Covid Tracking Project

Coronavirus

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'.

Covid Tracking Project

The COVID Tracking Project's public archive API, serving the US state- and national-level testing, hospitalization, and case/death time series the volunteer project compiled through early 2021. Data collection officially ended 2021-03-07 and the project shut down, but the JSON (v1/v2) and CSV endpoints continue to serve that final historical dataset unchanged since a 2021-06-01 build. A live GET against api.covidtracking.com returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, correcting the stored 'no' cors to 'yes'.
