Here is my contribution to the awareness of the escalating number of cases of Covid-19 around the world. There is detailed info down to the county level for USA States. The main data source is Johns Hopkins University a US based Medical School in conjunction with their Engineering School.
For those wondering the charts are done in a Google script, using a standard Google Sheet Chart and saved as .png’s on an Amazon server. The are all built as part of a timed loop that periodically checks for new data from the main Johns Hopkins data feed.

Hi @George_B
Nice your App using another kind of data.
I use the same data source you are using which comes from JHU and GitHub but my data is updated every 24 hr although I carry out a query every 1 hr.
My APP checks data to Venezuela and South America (12 countries)
Do you have the same behavior with the US data? The same refresh time?
Thanks
Saludos y gracias

Yes I had it finished and they changed the structure on me a week ago. I do check even more frequently than that but I skip the process if I don’t see a new file.
I would like to know if there is the possibility of using an API in glide?
Follow the API link: https://github.com/devarthurribeiro/covid19-brazil-api
You would need to Zapier to access the API and populate a google sheet with the returned data(if zapier even offers that), or write a script to make the API call and populate the sheet with the data. There is no native API call functionality within Glide.
Yes what @Jeff_Hager says. I process all the Covid-19 data in scripts then write it to the various sheets.

Hey guys, have you checked out the Codiv module in Integromat?
I’m using it, and it’s SUPER easy. And it’s completely free.
I have it in the #comeCancun app.
