Pulling Clean Data from Covid19india.org.
covid19india
covid19india
is designed while working with data on COVID-19 in India. covid19india.org is a data resource with APIs available. It is updated daily and provides count, testing, and vaccine data at the national, state, and district level. This package eases the process for R users to obtain data ready for analysis in hopes of democratizing data science and speed up public health research.
:warning: The package is under active development. :warning: After creating functions for pulling data, additional functions to calculate basic public health metrics and data visualizations will be added.

Installation
# Install the CRAN version
install.packages("covid19india")
# Or the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("maxsal/covid19india")
Coming soon :movie_camera:
- :racing_car: migrating from
tidyverse
syntax todata.table
- We are moving to
data.table
for speed and reduced dependencies - This update will also require R 4.1.0+ (uses native pipe)
- We are moving to
Example
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
# remotes::install_github("maxsal/covid19india", dependencies = TRUE)
library(covid19india)
# load data from covid19india.org -----------
nat_count <- get_nat_counts()
state_count <- get_state_counts()
state_tests <- get_state_tests()
state_vax <- get_state_vax()
# estimate r0 ----------
get_r0(nat_count)
get_r0(state_count)
