Welcome to disease.sh - An open API for disease-related statistics

Information

Discord

This API provides a big range of detailed information about multiple viruses. From COVID19 global data overviews to city/region specific mobility data, and data on the current outbreak of Influenza. We also provide official government data for some countries, more to be added soon. The core-team currently consists of 4 people from 4 different countries working hard to keep this up and running, but it's an open-source project, so if you want, come help us!
