Cowin Vaccine Tracker

Python API wrapper for vaccine availability by Pincode, DistrictId for 1 week and get detailed list of all states, Districts.

India's digital platform launched by the govt. to help citizens register themselves for the vaccination drive by booking an appointment at the nearby available vaccination centres.

The process to search for available slots to take the vaccine is tedious as you need to log in to the portal every time.

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

Example:

from cowinapi_by_ishaan import FetchData

cowin = FetchData()

states = cowin.get_states_table()
print(states)

pip install cowinapi_by_ishaan
