Summary

The Coronavirus Smartable API is a REST-based API service that provides programmatic access to global and regional coronavirus data, including the latest news, numbers, historical values, and geo-breakdowns. The API aggregates data from credible sources such as country/state government portals, Wikipedia pages, news reports, Johns Hopkins University CSSE 2019-nCoV Dashboard, WHO situation reports, CDC situation updates, and DXY.cn. It enables users to query global and regional-level coronavirus data, including the latest news, numbers, historical values, and geo-breakdowns, with a focus on providing reliable and timely information. The API is available for developers and enterprises through a freemium model of subscription and can be used to aid organizations in planning humanitarian responses to alleviate losses caused due to the pandemic by visualizing location-specific information in intuitive dashboards.
