Coronavirus vs Humanitarian Data Exchange
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'.
HDX is OCHA's CKAN-based catalog of over 18,000 humanitarian and public-health datasets (disease outbreaks, health-facility locations, population and displacement data) covering 250+ locations, searchable and downloadable through the standard keyless CKAN Action API (package_list, package_show, datastore_search). A live GET against data.humdata.org/api/3/action/status_show succeeds with no key, and a live Origin-header probe returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving the stored 'unknown' to 'yes'.
