Delphi’s COVID-19 Data Sources and Signals

Delphi’s COVID-19 Surveillance Streams data includes the following data sources. Data from these sources is expected to be updated daily. You can use the covidcast_meta API endpoint to get summary information about the ranges of the different attributes for the different data sources.

The API for retrieving data from these sources is described in the COVIDcast API endpoint documentation. Changes and corrections to data in this API are listed in the API changelog.
