# Delphi's Epidata API
# The Epidata API

Delphi's Epidata API provides real-time access to epidemiological surveillance data.
It is built and maintained by the Carnegie Mellon University [Delphi research
group](https://delphi.cmu.edu/). The Epidata API includes:

- [COVIDcast data](api/covidcast.md), providing daily updates about COVID-19
activity across the United States. [API clients](api/covidcast_clients.md) for
quick access to COVID data are available.
- [Data about other diseases](api/README.md), including influenza, dengue, and
other diseases tracked by Delphi through various data streams.
* The [main endpoint (COVIDcast)](api/covidcast.md), providing daily updates about current COVID-19 and influenza activity across the United States.
* A [variety of other endpoints](api/README.md), providing primarily historical data about various diseases including COVID-19, influenza, dengue fever, and norovirus in several countries.

A [full-featured R client](api/client_libraries.md) is available for quick access to all data. While we continue developing a full-featured Python client, the [legacy Python client](api/client_libraries.md#python) remains available. The main endpoint can also be accessed with a [dedicated COVIDcast client](api/covidcast_clients.md).

Anyone may access the Epidata API anonymously without providing any personal
data. Anonymous API access is currently rate-limited and restricted to public
