Welcome to the NovelCOVID API

Information Discord Donate
This API provides a big range of detailed information about COVID19 from global data overviews to city/region specific mobility data. 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
