An API written with the FastAPI framework that provides the NSW Covid Stats found on NSW COVID 19 Stats Page - Active Cases, Reported Cases, and Vaccine Numbers.

The numbers on the page are webscraped using BeautifulSoup4 and saved to a Redis database. This allows the API to maintain performance and decouples the updating of information with the API.

Currently you can interact with the API @ dcong.page/covid-stats (HTTPS)

• Ensure you have a running redis database on your system on port 6379

1. Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/kingkonggrunt/nsw_covid19_stats.git
2. Enter the directory cd nsw_covid19_stats
3. Create and activate a venv python3 -m venv venv . venv/bin/activate
4. Install packages pip3 install -r requirements.txt

• Launch the API using uvicorn api:app --reload on your localhost in devmode. Use uvicorn api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3400 to launch the API exposed to the internet - accessible by your IP address.
• Launch the updater using python3 updater.py. The updater just updates values every 3 hours.
