covidactnow 1.1.50

A wrapper allowing users to get specific state-based COVID statistics from the Covid Act Now database.

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 GitHub repository 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

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. 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).
