Python scripts for collecting historical case numbers of the spread of COVID-19 in Germany from Robert Koch Institut. https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Neuartiges_Coronavirus/Fallzahlen.html

Data is updated on a daily basis and published in a csv file here: http://www.nexolin.de/data/covid-19/rki/rki_data.csv

included files:

  • rki_get_cases.py: script for downloading current case numbers from the RKI server
  • rki_merge_cases.py: combine cases to one single csv file with the following structure:
Bundeslanddateconfirmeddeaths
name of federal state date in %Y-%m-%d format # of confirmed cases # of deaths

  • clean_archive.py - The Robert-Koch-Institut frequently changes the structure of the data table. This script tackles resulting problems with the historical csvs to fit the new structure.
