Epidata API Client Libraries.

Epidata clients are available for JavaScript, Python, and R. The following samples show how to import the library and fetch Delphi’s COVID-19 Surveillance Streams from Facebook Survey CLI for county 06001 and days 20200401 and 20200405-20200414 (11 days total).

For anyone looking for COVIDCast data, please visit our COVIDCast Libraries.

JavaScript (in a web browser)

<!-- Imports -->
<script src="delphi_epidata.js"></script>
<!-- Fetch data -->
<script>
  EpidataAsync.covidcast('fb-survey', 'smoothed_cli', 'day', 'county', [20200401, EpidataAsync.range(20200405, 20200414)], '06001').then((res) => {
    console.log(res.result, res.message, res.epidata != null ? res.epidata.length : 0);
  });
</script>

Python

Optionally install the package from PyPI using pip(env):

pip install delphi-epidata

Otherwise, place delphi_epidata.py in the same directory as your Python script.

# Import
from delphi_epidata import Epidata
# Fetch data
res = Epidata.covidcast('fb-survey', 'smoothed_cli', 'day', 'county', [20200401, Epidata.range(20200405, 20200414)], '06001')
print(res['result'], res['message'], len(res['epidata']))

R

# Import
source('delphi_epidata.R')
# Fetch data
res <- Epidata$covidcast('fb-survey', 'smoothed_cli', 'day', 'county', list(20200401, Epidata$range(20200405, 20200414)), '06001')
cat(paste(res$result, res$message, length(res$epidata), "\n"))
