Covid-19 Bangladesh: District-wise data
NOTICE: This project is no longer maintained

Caching
Developers should cache the last successful response. Because the server will be occassionally disabled to save minutes of free-tier Heroku dyno. If I get enough support, I will be able to migrate to a premium server and thus eliminate this issue.
Stats
The success response returns data (JSON) in the following format:
{
"death": {
"last24": 4,
"total": 131
},
"positive": {
"last24": 503,
"total": 4689
},
"recovered": {
"last24": 191,
"total": 2101
},
"test": {
"last24": 4,
"total": 112
},
"updated_on": "Fri, 24 Apr 2020 18:20:59 GMT"
}
The field updated_on shows time in UTC/GMT
District Counts
The success response returns data (JSON) in the following format:
{
"data": [
...
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Dhaka",
"count": 700,
"prev_count": 600
}
...
],
"updated_on": "Fri, 24 Apr 2020 18:20:59 GMT"
}
WARNING: Do not depend on the
idfield, as it might change over time. You're advised to work withnamedirectly.
The prev_count (previous count) keeps track of the last record before updating to the new counts. The updated_on field is recorded based on UTC time (not Bangladesh time which is UTC+6)
More features such as area-wise report for Dhaka city might be added later
Development
Feel free to contribute and make the API feature-rich. For this to work, you have to have Python buildpack.
Install the Python requirements pip install -r requirements.txt and you're good to go. You also have to set some environment variables in .env file in the root directory. Please check the provider module to know more about these variables.
Donate
Currently this service is hosted in free servers. To provide uninterrupted service, I need to migrate to a premium plan and also buy a domain.
Many of you are using this service. If you can contribute I will be grateful from the bottom of my heart. I have calculated that I would need around 8$ per month to bear the server costs. Just click the button below to donate.
If you want to donate using some local payment gateways like bKash, just drop an email at [email protected].
