This is the source code for the Coronavirus Dashboard serving the home page and postcode page.

The API supplies the latest data for the COVID-19 outbreak in the United Kingdom.

The endpoint for the data provided using this SDK is:

https://api.coronavirus.data.gov.uk/v1/data

Documentations for the API, including the latest metrics, are available on the Developers Guide page.

We have also developed software development kits (dedicated libraries) in several programming languages to facilitate access to the API:

• Python library is available on GitHub® and is published on PyPI.
• JavaScript library is available on GitHub® and is published on GitHub® Packages and NPM.
• R library is available on GitHub® and has been submitted to CRAN for publication.
• .Net library is available of GitHub® and is published on NuGet.

You are welcome to use the GOV.UK patterns and frontend code even if your service isn’t considered part of GOV.UK. Although you will sometimes need to use different patterns, for example if you are building something like an admin interface.

While you can use the patterns, your site or service must not:

• identify itself as being part of GOV.UK
• use the crown or GOV.UK logotype in the header
• use the GDS Transport typeface
• suggest that it’s an official UK government website if it is not

These things are there to provide a consistent identity and navigation between GOV.UK and the sites and transactional services that hang off it. If your service isn’t on GOV.UK, there’s no need to maintain that identity - in fact, you might confuse or mislead people if you do.

You should also use the brand logo and font of your organisation.

Please consult the GOV.UK Service Manual for additional information.

This service is developed and maintained by UK Health Security Agency.
