Covid Act Now Database Wrapper
This package is an extremely bare-bones wrapper around Covid Act Now's database of COVID-19 related information. View the PyPi project here, and the original post page here.
Usage is simple. Install the package with pip install covidactnow.
Instantiate a user object with your API key as an argument. You can easily generate an API key here.
import covidactnow
api = covidactnow.User(api_key = 'yourapikey')
washingtonInfectionRate = api.infRate('WA')
massachussettsVaxRate = api.vaxRate('MA')
print(f"{washingtonInfectionRate = }")
print(f"{massachussettsVaxRate = }")
This will result (with different data, of course):
washingtonInfectionRate = 1.16
massachussettsVaxRate = 76.3
To view the docstring (explainer) of a particular function, use covidactnow.User.infRate.__doc__ where infRate can be repalced with any other function. For example, running print(covidactnow.User.freeBedPercentage.__doc__) will return: Get's the percentage of free hospital beds by state. Depending on your IDE, hovering over a function in the editor will show the function's docstring (works in VS Code).
import covidactnow
if __name__ == "__main__":
print(covidactnow.User.infRate.__doc__)
print(covidactnow.User.freeBedPercentage.__doc__)
""" Result:
>>> Gets today's COVID infection rate by state.
>>> Get's the percentage of free hospital beds by state.
"""

For more information on how the wrapper works, particularly how it was redesigned to be package-friendly, read the "Updated for Distribution" section of this [page](https://covidinfo.preritdas.com). Note that this version has been updated to get data from within a `User` class allowing individual API keys to be used (as opposed to defining a state as an object and defining statistics as object attributes).
