Cowin Tracker

Python API wrapper for CoWin, to help citizens register themselves for the vaccination drive by booking an appointment at the nearby vaccination centres

This wrapper is meant to enable folks to build their own versions of a system to lookup for vaccine availablity either in a district or in a particular pin code.

Install

pip install taranvir-cowin-api-services

Usage

The wrapper currently covers four endpoints used by the CoWin portal specified below.

Initialize

from cowin_api import CoWinAPI

cowin = CoWinAPI()

Get all the available states

Returns the list of states in which vaccine drive is being conducted. This also returns the state_id which would be required in the subsequent requests.

from cowin_api import CoWinAPI

cowin = CoWinAPI()
states = cowin.get_states()
print(states)

Get all the available districts

Returns the list of districts in a particular states in which vaccine drive is being conducted. This also returns the district_id which would be required in the subsequent requests.

In this method, you would need to pass the state_id retrieved from the previous method.

from cowin_api import CoWinAPI

state_id = '<give state_id here>'
cowin = CoWinAPI()
districts = cowin.get_districts(state_id)
print(districts)

Get all the centers available using the district_id

Use this method to lookup for centers based on a district_id or a list of district_ids. This method is broader than searching by pin code as it covers the whole district.

In this method, you would need to pass the district_id retrieved from the previous methods. By default, the method looks-up for slots with today's date. For any other dates pass the date in DD-MM-YYYY format.

from cowin_api import CoWinAPI

district_id = '<give the district_id here>'
date = '<Give the date here>'  # Optional. Takes today's date by default
min_age_limit = 18  # Optional. By default returns centers without filtering by min_age_limit

cowin = CoWinAPI()
available_centers = cowin.get_availability_by_district(district_id, date, min_age_limit)
print(available_centers)

Get all the available centers using a pin code

Use this method to lookup for centers based on a pin_code or a list of pin_codes. By default, the method looks-up for slots with today's date. For any other dates pass the date in DD-MM-YYYY format.

from cowin_api import CoWinAPI

pin_code = "<give pincode here>"
date = '<give date here>'  # Optional. Default value is today's date
min_age_limit = 18  # Optional. By default returns centers without filtering by min_age_limit

cowin = CoWinAPI()
available_centers = cowin.get_availability_by_pincode(pin_code, date, min_age_limit)
print(available_centers)
